[Resolved] Include Toolset View in Mailchimp?

I regularly create Mailchimp campaigns with an overview of the latest articles on my site, including title, excerpt, featured images and link. This is always a LOT of work, prone with errors.

I have this dream: can I create a Toolset View on my website and copy/paste the HTML code to Mailchimp, along with some appropriate HTML? Is there a way to do that?

If your notifications can handle ShortCodes, like Toolset Forms Notifications, then you can simply add that View's ShortCode to the notification body.

But if not, then there is no way unless programmatically (which we could not support) to display a Views result on such a template.

Thanks Beda for your quick reply.

Let me check if I understand you correctly. As I understand, you are referring to a mail/notification system that should run on my site and that system should recognize Toolset shortcodes, right?

That's not what I dreamed of. I was dreaming of using Mailchimp as mail platform and creating HTML for that on my site. Your implicit verdict seems to be: keeping dreaming but forget it.

It was worth a try....

Hi Joost,

As Beda mentioned if your mailchimp plugin can handle shortcodes when its sending off the emails then it should work.

If you're setting up the notifications on the mailchimp website itself then this won't work because shortcodes are only processed within wordpress.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks, I understand. Off-topic for this site, but do you perhaps have a suggestion for a suitable mailchimp plugin that could handle this?
