Community Builder Integration

MailChimp Auto-Subscribe can work with Community Builder and its Subscriptions plugin to keep your MailChimp audience in sync with your users.

When a subscription is activated, renewed, or updated, the user can be synced to MailChimp.
When a subscription expires or is canceled, the user can be automatically unsubscribed (optional).

You must install the latest BETA version 5.1.2-RC2+ to use the Community Builder integration.
