I am using mailchimp to manage invitations for the beta launch of a web site. I have a list for people that have requested an invitation and would like to move them to another list when sending a campaign that includes the invitation so we can track who has been sent an invite.
How can I configure mailchimp to move people from one list to another list? Or is there a better way to manage the list in order to avoid sending an invitation to the same person more than once?
If you have a data field (Merge field) in your current list that can be used to identify the people who want to be in the beta you can just segment the list and send it to those people.
Also you cant have duplication of emails as Mailchimp checks and updates the existing user.
Hope this helps if not then I can explain some more once at work (and I can then see mailchimp)
Got an answer from support at MailChimp. It looks like it has to be done manually as there is no way to segment on whether someone has been sent a campaign -- only if they have opened it.
Here's the blurb from MailChimp...
We checked out the segmenting options and it looks like there's an option for date added is after a certain campaign was sent, but there isn't one for who received the last campaign (just who opened / clicked in the list campaign). What might work instead is adding a group in the list that would denote if someone was sent the invite (this could be marked off manually in the list by someone with account access). Then the list could be segmented based on that field for later sends (who is or isn't in that group to get the new campaign that's going out).
