How to add a user to a specific group while subscribing to a list

[mohitjain]

I am running this on console and its adding user in my subscribed_list. Works like charm.

  gb.lists.subscribe({:id => list_id, :email => {:email => 'mohit.jain@example.com'}, :merge_vars => {:FNAME => 'Mohit', :LNAME => 'Jain', }, :double_optin => false})

Now I want to subscriber to groups: Like I have a group " User Type" which has some predefined 4 values. How can I map this User Type in subscribe method?

Hi Mohit,

The hash you pass to Gibbon maps exactly onto what MailChimp requires so if you simply follow their documentation you'll be in good shape. In this case, you need to look at lists/subscribe.

Your example might look something like:

gb.lists.subscribe({:id => list_id, :email => {:email => 'mohit.jain@example.com'}, :merge_vars => {:FNAME => 'Mohit', :LNAME => 'Jain', :groupings => [{:name => "user_type", :groups => ["admin"]}]}, :double_optin => false})

I've not tested this code so there might be a minor thing to tweak here and there but it should get you closer.
