Add to interest group using Mailchimp API v3
I'm using this MailChimp api v3 wrapper https://github.com/drewm/mailchimp-api/tree/api-v3
Using the example I can add an email to my list but cannot add it to one of my interest groups.
This is the example code:
$MailChimp = new MailChimp('abc123abc123abc123abc123abc123-us1');
$result = $MailChimp->post('lists/b1234346/members', array(
'email_address' => '[email protected]',
'status' => 'subscribed',
'merge_fields' => array('FNAME'=>'Davy', 'LNAME'=>'Jones'),
'interests' => array( '2s3a384h' => true )
));
print_r($result);
My understanding is the key in that array entry for interests is the ID of the group. I created a group in MailChimp, which has a group title and group names. I can see an id when I hover over the group title edit button, and also the group name edit button. If I hover over the "0 subscribers" for a group name I can see that same id and a group_id. I've tried both values and I get this error:
Array ( [type] => http://kb.mailchimp.com/api/error-docs/400-invalid-resource [title] => Invalid Resource [status] => 400 [detail] => Invalid interest ID: '39561'. [instance] => 12c1ab46-a0b5-4014-8107-08cfa97a9a94 )
I've googled and still can't find the answer. Any help?
Answer
You can get the Id of the specific interest option not the group id, by going to the playground
Then you navigate to your list and group:
When you click on the name of the interest option it will show the option meta data, including it's id:
