Hi - simple question before I send out my latest campaign having just installed this module. Users can now sign up to my MailChimp list upon creating an account with my site.
I just want some reassurances around the syncing, if possible for the following scenarios:
1. Someone registers for an account on my Drupal site. They tick the 'sign up to newsletter' button. But they already have signed up previoulsy via MailChimp. Will it create a duplicate entry in MailChimp?
2. People have created accounts on my Drupal site. They have already signed up to my mailing list via MailChimp. Will MailChimp update my Drupal site as to who is and isn't signed up, and likewise, will Drupal update MailChimp?
3. Someone signs up to my list via MailChimp. They've already got an account on my Drupal site. Will MailChimp update my Drupal site so the 'signed up for newsletter' box becomes ticked?
Appreciated.

cduwe commentedsubscribe; could this be added to the documentation for the project once the question is answered?

The module detects if an email is already in a given MC list and will update rather than insert if it is. Additionally, MC automatically handles duplicates.
2. People have created accounts on my Drupal site. They have already signed up to my mailing list via MailChimp. Will MailChimp update my Drupal site as to who is and isn't signed up, and likewise, will Drupal update MailChimp?
Communication is only one way, Drupal to MailChimp. If the email is already on a list on MC, than Drupal will update the record.
3. Someone signs up to my list via MailChimp. They've already got an account on my Drupal site. Will MailChimp update my Drupal site so the 'signed up for newsletter' box becomes ticked?
See above.
