The possibilities are endless with our new Mailchimp integration

We recently released our long awaited integration with Mailchimp which includes the ability to automatically add attendees to a Mailchimp audience list when tickets are generated. You can also specify default tags or event-specific tags that can be used to segment your Mailchimp list which opens up a host of exciting possibilities with FooEvents!

To take advantage of this integration, please make sure that you have the FooEvents for WooCommerce plugin (1.14.35+) installed on your site and you must also have a Mailchimp account.

The Mailchimp Integration help documentation contains further information and setup instructions.
