Common stuff for Rails applications

Adding user to a mailing list

Update Gemfile with:

gem 'gibbon'

Add following entries to secrets.yml

mailchimp_key: <%= ENV['MAILCHIMP_KEY'] %>
mailchimp_list_id: <%= ENV['MAILCHIMP_LIST_ID'] %>
mailchimp_interest_ids: <%= ENV['MAILCHIMP_INTEREST_IDS'] %>

Create file config/initializers/mailchimp.rb

Gibbon::Request.api_key = Rails.application.secrets.mailchimp_key
Gibbon::Request.timeout = 15
Gibbon::Request.logger = Rails.logger

Call SubscribeJob.perform_later('email@me.com') to add a subscriber to your list.

MailChimp helper tasks

List all mailing lists for you account:

rails commons:mailchimp:lists

All lists with interests included:
