Installation

How to configure MailChimp

composer require mailmotor/mailchimp-bundle

// In `app/AppKernel.php`
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new MailMotor\Bundle\MailMotorBundle\MailMotorMailMotorBundle(),
        new MailMotor\Bundle\MailChimpBundle\MailMotorMailChimpBundle(),
    );

# In `app/config/parameters.yml`
parameters:
  # ...
  mailmotor.mail_engine:  'mailchimp' # or another mailmotor engine
  mailmotor.api_key:      xxx # enter your mailchimp api_key here
  mailmotor.list_id:      xxx # enter the mailchimp default list_id here

Examples

Subscribing

$this->get('mailmotor.subscriber')->subscribe(
    $email,         // f.e.: '[email protected]'
    $language,      // f.e.: 'nl'
    $mergeFields,   // f.e.: ['FNAME' => 'Jeroen', 'LNAME' => 'Desloovere']
    $interests,     // f.e.: ['9A28948d9' => true, '8998ASAA' => false]
    $doubleOptin,   // OPTIONAL, default = true
    $listId         // OPTIONAL, default listId is in your config parameters
);

Unsubscribing

$this->get('mailmotor.subscriber')->unsubscribe(
    $email,
    $listId // OPTIONAL, default listId is in your config parameters
);

Exists

$this->get('mailmotor.subscriber')->exists(
    $email,
    $listId // OPTIONAL, default listId is in your config parameters
);

Is subscribed

$this->get('mailmotor.subscriber')->isSubscribed(
    $email,
    $listId // OPTIONAL, default listId is in your config parameters
);

Full example for subscribing

use MailMotor\Bundle\MailMotorBundle\Exception\NotImplementedException;

// Don't forget to add validation to your $email
$email = '[email protected]';

try {
    if ($this->get('mailmotor.subscriber')->isSubscribed($email)) {
        // Add error to your form
    }
// Fallback for when no mailmotor parameters are defined
} catch (NotImplementedException $e) {
    // Do nothing
}

if ($noErrors)
    try {
        // Subscribe the user to our default group
        $this->get('mailmotor.subscriber')->subscribe(
            $email,
            $language,
            $mergeFields
        );
    // Fallback for when no mailmotor parameters are defined
    } catch (NotImplementedException $e) {
        // Add you own code here to f.e.: send a mail to the admin
    }
}

Full example for unsubscribing

use MailMotor\Bundle\MailMotorBundle\Exception\NotImplementedException;

// Don't forget to add validation to your $email
$email = '[email protected]';

try {
    // Email exists
    if ($this->get('mailmotor.subscriber')->exists($email)) {
        // User is already unsubscribed
        if ($this->get('mailmotor.subscriber')->isUnsubscribed($email)) {
            // Add error to your form: "User is already unsubscribed"
        }
    // Email not exists
    } else {
        // Add error to your form: "email is not in mailinglist"
    }
// Fallback for when no mailmotor parameters are defined
} catch (NotImplementedException $e) {
    // Do nothing
}

if ($noErrors) {
    try {
        // Unsubscribe the user
        $this->get('mailmotor.subscriber')->unsubscribe($email);
    // Fallback for when no mailmotor parameters are defined
    } catch (NotImplementedException $e) {
        // We can send a mail to the admin instead
    }
}

Extending

Creating a bundle for another mail engine.

F.e.: You want to use a mail engine called "Crazy".

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Crazy\Bundle\MailMotorBundle\CrazyMailMotorBundle(),
    );

In app/config/parameters.yml

mailmotor.mail_engine:  'crazy'
mailmotor.api_key:      xxx # enter your crazy api_key here
mailmotor.list_id:      xxx # enter the crazy default list_id here

Then you just need to duplicate all files from another mail engine, like f.e.: "mailmotor/mailchimp-bundle" and replace all the logic for your own mail engine.
