5:25 PM
me: sure go on

aa8818: https://www.zoaex.com.au/zoaadmin/index.php

go here please

left menu

go to

newsletter

do you see update table

me: Let me check
5:26 PM
yes i see them

aa8818: at the moment

whenever i send newsletter

i update table

first

because when some people

change subscription

it doesn't happen

automatic

before i do this

i think my website use separate database

so have to update

after you do mailchimp integration
5:27 PM
this function will become useless

right?

(this function is bad_

)

me: YEs that right

aa8818: right

what happen to

current list

?

click subscribers admin

me: ok

aa8818: you see

green and red dots

right?
5:28 PM
me: I think you can import it in mailchimp

aa8818: will this become totally in sync?

me: No, You have to export the list and then import it manually.
5:29 PM
aa8818: what about after?
5:30 PM
me: All your subscription and unsubscription will be processed in mailchimp. You are just importing your existing subscribers in mailchimp. There after you can send newsletters from your mailchimp account

aa8818: if they

hey

in account page

for each user
5:31 PM
there is subscribe newsletter

tick

box

right?

i have this

what happen if they untick it

does it get updated in mailchimp?
5:32 PM
me: I'm not seeing any tick option in your newsletter. If you are talking about mailchimp code then we are not gonna use it in your site

aa8818: tick open

tick option is there
5:33 PM
when you register to our website

me: Ok, let me see

aa8818: http://www.zoaex.com.au/create_account.php

see here

do you see the tick box?

its common in many other websites

when ppl register

they can tick

to sub
5:34 PM
and they can also untick to unsub

after they register

they have this option

its common feature

in ALL websites

you know what i mean?

me: Yes i understand, But your regiser page requires extra coding to use that checkbox feature
5:35 PM
aa8818: so this is something that you are not doing?

me: No i didn't say that
5:36 PM
I said it requires extra coding. I mean i need to add some piece of code in your registration page. So it requires some extra time and extra money for my time

aa8818: of course

but lets talk logic here

you know

when someone register
5:37 PM
and subscribe

they can also unsub through their account page

right?

this is common feature

right?

me: Yes, But i'm not sure about your myaccount page layout. Let me check

aa8818: wait

so

when they unsub

its just a tickbox
5:38 PM
when ppl unsub

what will happen to

mailchimp list?

this is my question
5:39 PM
me: Wen people tick that checkbox it will trigger unsubscribe mail in mailchimp. An unsubscribe mail will be sent to the user. If he click the unsubscribe link the user will be unsubscribed successfully. Same thing happens for subscription too
5:40 PM
aa8818: so

do you see

subscribers admin

page?

me: yes

aa8818: are we still going to use that page?

me: No we don't
5:41 PM
All your datas will be stored in mailchimp

aa8818: right

so if people

unsubscribe

from their account page

using the tickbox

it will tell mailchimp?
5:42 PM
me: Yes that why i said, some extra coding required for that feature. But its possible

aa8818: i know

so

how much will you charge

?

all together

me: How about $40 for all?
5:43 PM
aa8818: how long does it take?

me: 2 - 3 hours

aa8818: right...

money is fine

but im just thinking

hey

are you freelancer?

me: Yes

aa8818: good

i think ill work with you more

in the future too

are you good at wordpress too?
5:44 PM
me: Yes. You can give me A++ in wordpress

aa8818: right

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/itrader.php?u=258713

aa8818: yep

5:46 PM
me: MAilchimp api not required now

aa8818: why not?

what do you mean not now?

it was required before?
5:47 PM
me: Because you given me the code. right?

The code you given me is enough

aa8818: hey

me: sure

aa8818: so

using api is lot more work

isn't it?

me: Not sure, i have to check the docs first. Let me checkk
5:52 PM
Yes it requires more work. And one more thing, if you cancel the project i'm not sure whether they refund my project fee or not. So instead of canceling the project just give me other task if you have
5:53 PM
aa8818: they will give you refund

me: Ok cool then, Will i get any changes in my feedback rating?
5:54 PM
aa8818: no

aa8818: ill see if i can leave you good feedback

after refund is done
5:55 PM

6:52 PM
aa8818: in shared hosting

can you check who opened?

and who never opeend?

me: No its not possible
6:53 PM
If you have more money then use interspire email marketer

You don't have to depend on third party
6:55 PM

on my server?
6:56 PM
me: Yes you have to install it in your server

in my website front page

people only subscribe with their email addrses

no first and last name

right?

aa8818: another example is

if someone

untick in my account page

you will tell

mailchimp

to unsub it?
7:34 PM
me: yes

aa8818: what if they tick again?

me: Again it will be subscribed

is that from mailchimp?

me: yes

yes
