Agile Web Development

This is a simple plugin for interacting with MailChimp. Inspired by the 'acts_as_chimp' plugin by MandarinSoda, this plugin makes it easy to add, remove and update mailing list information. You will need to have a Mail Chimp (http://www.mailchimp.com) account set up, which is free and you will not be charged unless you send emails.

Acts_As_Mailchimp expects a model with the following required fields:

email:string = The email address to add/remove from a Mail Chimp mailing list.
email_type:string = Prefered mail format. Must be either 'html' or 'text'.

Additionally, the plugin allows for the following optional fields:

first_name:string = The first name of the user to add/remove from Mail Chimp.
last_name:string = The last name add/remove from Mail Chimp.

Remember, these fields must be added to your list in Mail Chimp first. The specific column names for all fields can be adjusted in the model, so it is alright if your model has different column names.
