Automatic tagging in MailChimp
Hi,
I want to achieve something quiet simple with MailChimp: I have a subscription form on my website (provided by MC) and I want any new subscriber who goes through it to get a tag.
I can't find it. I f you have an idea or a better way to automatically sort subscribers, I'm all hears.
Cheers

Hey Thomas,
I do this in all of our apps. You'll want to use tags. Here's my MailchimpTagFactory
https://cl.ly/b9b582529f46
When a user signs up, we add "subscriber", "status-XXX", and "plan-XXXX". When the users sub expires we keep the tags but now status-expired. This is so we can re-market to those.
Hope this helps.
What do you do with this code? I understand the code, but have no idea where it goes? At Mailchimp? How and where? Nice code, but typical of programmers to be blind to how others need help implementing. If I knew how to implement it I would be able to code it myself and wouldn't need the help. Sorry to be so blunt.
Trying to get this to work with Bloom Opt in in Divi with Mailchimp. Set up in Form Builder a form with a hidden field, checked. When Bloom pulls the list any custom fields should show up as options. However, I am still getting the default lame three custom field Bloom includes. It is not pulling the data. Cache is cleared, lists refreshed, documentation read again and Mailchimp is a service Bloom claims to support exactly for this. All claims say yes, but in reality it is NO!
What sorting requirement do you need?
This is what I usually do: add a tag under the audience list section or create a custom segment for a particular campaign before you trigger a campaign.
I'm doing both respectively because there're many scenarios around my mailing campaigns. Happy to exchange ideas.
How about adding the tag as a hidden field?

It's seems like the easiest solution.
I'm gonna try, thanks!
I think you could do something like this with Zapier:
If you can edit HTML decently well, you can also add a hidden field to the user's profile field in MailChimp. Then when they sign up, you can set tag rules to tag them based on the value in that profile field.
