With SimpleNews you can create a newsletter based con content or using other modules from existing nodes. We use this to push information out to members of our PTO in town.

But the tracking info stinks in SimpleNews which is why I'm interested in using Mailchimp. Is there currently a way to push an existing node or add a button to existing content to push out via MailChimp?

In short, no. There's some talk of adding a feature like that in a related module, but I'm not really a big supporter. You run into lots of complexity with formatting, input formats, which template to use, which list to send the email to, etc. MailChimp has invested a lot to make creating newsletter content on their end, and I think it's a better approach. A more realistic option is to import MC campaigns into a site as nodes, and that's more likely to make it into the module.

Hi there -

Sorry for commenting on a 3-yr old post, but I have the exact same question.

I'd like to either (a) use an existing node as my mailchimp email content OR (b) have my mailchimp content posted to my site as a node. Are either of these things a part of the current D7 mailchimp module?

Can I assume that if I don't care much about tracking, that the SimpleNews module is what I should be using?

Thanks much!

“And now our watch [for support of the 6.x version of the MailChimp module] has ended…” With the end of Drupal 6 support, I’m sad to say we too must turn the page.

Fret not! The 7.x-4.x and 8.x versions come highly recommended. Both are using Mailchimp’s new API 3.0 and are being actively maintained. “What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger!”
