How to send emails via Mailchimp API on Laravel 4?

Question

API

everything is clear with Mailgun:

Mail::send('emails.example', $data, function($message) use ($user)
    {
      $message->from('[email protected]', 'CompanyName');
            $message->to($user->email)->subject('10 популярных записей на этой неделе');    
    });

But how to do the same only through the Mailchimp service?
I found this package: https://github.com/hugofirth/laravel-mailchimp
but it states that you can add subscribers to MailList on Mailchimp.
for example, how to submit a list of popular posts on your site?
Thank you.

Answer 1

You have your own user base on the site. Your Mailchimp account has various mailing lists: news, promotions, etc. You need to synchronize these databases via the API: the user has signed up - follow

MailchimpWrapper::lists()->subscribe($list_id, array('email'=>$email_address));

, unsubscribed - unsubscribe. Thus, you keep the database up-to-date on your service account. Also, through the API (or manually through the Mailchimp website), you send to the mailing list.
