Subscribers can enter their own information at your store front, booth or
trade show.
To enable this feature, make sure your signup form has this option. Go to
Lists > Forms > Settings > List Name And Defaults and check the box that
says Let your subscribers pick an email format. Your images will generally
appear smaller, and well stack your content into a single column so its
easier to digest on a smartphone.
Simply plug in your content and send the newsletter, as you would any
other MailChimp campaign.
API Wrappers
ChimpKit for iPhone and iPad
ChimpKit is an objective-c wrapper for the MailChimp API. With ChimpKit,
you can integrate MailChimp functionality, like list subscription, into your
iPhone or iPad apps in a few simple steps.
All of the API functionality is tucked into the following classes:
CKList: Managing lists, including interest groups and subscriptions
CKCampaign: Managing campaigns
CKHelperMethods: Miscellaneous tasks like retrieving ChimpChatter and
account details
ChimpKit is built on ASIHTTPRequest by All-Seeing Interactive. That
means no heavy lifting when talking with a web server. And with ASIHTTPRequest you get a few bells and whistles, like access to progress
delegates, cookie support and an easy look at response headers.
To get started, drop the ChimpKit directory into your XCode project.
Theres a pre-built signup controller (CKDialogController) you can use to
add signup functionality into your app with almost no coding. Just set your
API Key and List ID and youre all set.
The source for ChimpKit is available at GitHub.
