OK, so I think its

http://YourDomain/Plugins/MiscMailChimp/WebHook/{makeupawebhookkey}

Is it possible to select X products within nopCommerce and have nop generate a (MailChimp or other) newsletters based on selected products? If not, this would be a GREAT feature that would SAVE lots of time :) Is there any newsletter application that can do this?

My suggestion was to allow customers to save their favorite categories. You could then send a newsletter personalised to their interests.

If the favorite categories feature gets added (vote here - http://nopcommerce.codeplex.com/workitem/10459) I'll definately be developing a plugin that does what you are looking for.

I like that idea! It would also be nice to allow saving of favorite Manufacturers too, because most customers search by both manufactureres and categories.

Voted!

Hi MacTech,
can you guide me where I can find the WebHooks Key: that I have to paste in the field
or how I generate it?

Thanks, Ronny

RE: Webhooks,

what is the callback URL? I purchased the enterprise documentation and there is no mention of how to configure webhooks.

Per the MailChimp documentation...
http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/webhooks/

... I need to enter a callback uri on MailChimp.com, something like

http://yourstore.com/MailChimpCallback

or possibly

http://yourstore.com/MailChimpCallback/WebHooksKey


Can anybody provide a step-by-step guid on how to setup Webhooks on nopCommerce?

1) enter a WebHook key on 'configuration -> plugins -> Misc.MailChimp -> Configure' (nopCommerce)
2a) go to 'Lists -> "List Name" -> View -> Stats Overview -> List Tools -> WebHooks' (MailChimp.com)
2b) enter callback url ????
2c) uncheck all except unsubscribes (per this thread) on "What type of updates should we send?"
2d) check Via the API on "Only send updates when a change was made by ..."


Would really appreciate clarification on how the plugin is implemented.

1) what is the callback URL
2) are the steps (my understanding) I posted correct?

thank you all for your time.

I wanted to know this as well. So I looked further into it. I haven't tested it, but I think it works as follows:

* Set a webhook key in nopcommerce admin. You can create this unique key yourself, it's just to make the call hard to guess.
* In mailchimp you can enter the webhook url, it would be: http://www.yourstore.com/Plugins/MiscMailChimp/WebHook/yourkey

That should be enough, I'm going to test it tonight. Good luck!

Btw. It looks like only unsubscribe is supported, so that's the only option I would check within mailchimp.
