    Hi Guys,

    I got Ken's mailchimp plugin but I am struggeling with auto responders. I now need to manually add the sign-up date.

    this is what the mailchimp guys said:
    Sarah: Currently the autoresponder will not trigger on the "date added/signup date" field when added by an admin or added by the API or brought into your list via an integration import. That function will only work for those who complete the signup form. Triggering off of an admin add date is something we will be implementing in a future autoresponder version (no release date at this time.).
    Sarah: In the meantime, your workaround is to create a second date field in your list and populate it with data using the format (mm/dd/yyyy) before import and build an autoresponder to trigger from that field. This will require you to add the date in yourself, but it will also allow you to trigger from the date you specify.
    Sarah: The send settings on the autoresponder will then be set to "x days after date Date Field" where Date Field is the date field you added to the list.

    I created the datefield, is there a way to get it auto populated or will I need to add my members manually every day?

    Thanks,
    Nik
