Import/Add subscribers

    Hello,

    I can get the plugin to work when I manually add a subscriber in Mailchimp and the discount e-mail is sent perfectly.

    However, when I import a subscriber list the plugin won’t send the e-mail.

    I have a list of over 6,000 so the manual add won’t be an option.

    Could i get some help resolving this issue?

    Hi @vesaku,
    I believe webhooks have been excluded from the import process. I think this is because you could end up using MailChimp’s service to DDoS the website where the webhook is pointed. Basically, sending 6,000+ hits to the webhook URL in rapid succession would eat up a lot of resources on your site and possibly cause it to crash.

    However, you could possibly use the API to subscribe batches of subscribers. Batch requests are limited to 500 pending requests, so you will need to run your batch import several times to get all subscribers added while triggering the webhook.

    Hopefully that helps clear things up a bit for you.
