    Hi,

    I had a look around but couldn't find the answer to my question.

    I have a members only newsletter that is a core part of my paid membership site - but I also have a free trial for my site.

    I use mailchimp for the newsletter and want to hook it up to amember with the newsletter plugin. I understand that as people signup to the site they can be automatically added to the mailchimp list, but what happens when a member expires? Obviously I want to have them automatically removed from the newsletter list to ensure they don't keep receiving the members only content.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks,
    Stuart

    I put a request for this for aweber in the bug tracker here- to move expired to an expired list. I dont think its been implemented yet.

    aMember automatically removes expired members from MailChimp (and any other) list.

    Ability to move expired users to another list is not jet implemented, it will be implemented later.

    This should be an option untill the expired move is implemented. I dont want to loose the emails.

    Agreed.

    Same thing for Aweber and other mailing list plugins.

    Should be a user selectable option.

    We have the interspire integration plugin configured with aMember.

    What happens when a user unsubscribes from a list using an interspire unsubscribe link (in an email)? Will user also be removed from aMember?
