Mailchimp

A wrapper and Laravel integration for Drew McLellan's Mailchimp v3

composer require nztim/mailchimp
For Laravel 5 support:
- Add the service provider to config/app.php: NZTim\Mailchimp\MailchimpServiceProvider::class,
- Register the facade: 'Mailchimp' => NZTim\Mailchimp\MailchimpFacade::class,
- Add .env value for MC_KEY (API key)

For Laravel 5, the Mailchimp facade or container instantiation is available, API key is retrieved from the .env file
Otherwise, create a new Mailchimp object with $mailchimp = new Mailchimp($apikey)
Mailchimp::check($listId, $emailAddress) checks to see if an email address is subscribed to a list, returns boolean
Mailchimp::subscribe($listId, $emailAddress, $mergeFields = [], $confirm = false) - adds a new subscriber to the list.
- $mergeFields - optional array of merge fields
- $confirm - optional boolean, true = send confirmation email, false = immediately subscribe (permission already obtained)
All methods throw NZTim\Mailchimp\MailchimpException for problems such as:
- Networking/communications errors
- API key incorrect
- Attempting to check/subscribe to a list that doesn't exist
Gotchas: the API throws an error when you
- Specify a merge field name with incorrect capitalisation
- Omit a required merge field when adding a new member
