MailChimp add-on module to import newsletters from MailChimp as Drupal nodes
This month, I wrote a custom module for a client, that import newsletters (or "campaigns", as MailChimp calls them) from a given MailChimp account into a Drupal site as nodes. (As many of you know, MailChimp is a rather nice third-party newsletter service.)
How it works:
- Depends on mailchimp.module, using the same account configured in mailchimp.module settings.
- Uses a custom table to store ID's of imported messages.
- Checks MailChimp account for new messages on every cron run, or when an admin pushes the big shiny "Import campaigns" button.
- Uses the MailChimp API to connect to your MailChimp account and import your messages
- Provides config page where admin can specify: which list(s) to import from; what kinds of messages to import (sent or not sent); what publishing options to apply to the nodes that will be created (published/unpublished, etc); and taxo terms to apply to the nodes that will be created.
It works for my client. Now I'm wondering if it would be useful to others. Members of this group who use a 3rd-party newsletter system such as MailChimp, what say you to importing newsletters as nodes?


I am looking for similar solution
Does it work with emf module?

Looking for this functionality
can you share the module?
Even just as a starting point
Even just as a starting point (should be possible to add support for E-mail Marketing Framework later) it would be perfect. We all want it!

I obey!
I posted the first beta of MailChimp Import module over at my company blog.
Download! Test! Bring on the comments!
(Incidentally, this is tested with the current recommended 6.x release of Mailchimp module, which is 6.x-2.0-rc4. It won't work with earlier 6.x versions.)

Most definitely
We would most definitely use this module.
As far as I can see it would save us the process of copying the newsletter to our site manually, which we do as part of providing an archive for this type of thing.
Let me know how it works!

Latest version
Thank you for writing this module. I have a client interested in this exact functionality. I'm trying to find the latest version of your module, and it looks like it is actually here: http://drupal.org/node/736394#comment-3221586
Could you please confirm that is the best place to go... at least until you get a cvs account?
'Tis, but it is a little
'Tis, but it is a little neglected and quite probably needs work. Let me know if it doesn't work for you.
