php - How to mail to a static list segment with mailchimp API -

once i've identified identified email addresses of list segment (using get_emails() custom function, setting list segment follows:

    $batch = get_emails();     //now create list segment:     $api->liststaticsegmentadd(wedding_list_id, 'new_wedding_guests');     $api->liststaticsegmentmembersadd(wedding_list_id, 'new_wedding_guests', $batch);     //do build vars campaign?     $options = array (       'list_id' => wedding_list_id, //what value id's list segment?       'subject' => 'alpha testing.',       'from_email' => 'wedding@juicywatermelon.com',       'from_name' => 'pam & kellzo',       'to_name' => $account->name,        ); 

from here can use basic campaign , send it?

    $content['text'] = "some text.";     $content['html'] = get_link($account);     $cid = $api->campaigncreate('regular', $options, $content);      $result = $api->campaignsendnow($cid); 

i'm not sure if i'm understanding api documentation correctly. tried 'list_id' => 'new_wedding_guests'; failed create campaign.

thanks!

i'll assume test code , make cursory mention of how don't need creating new static segment every time. however, call add members not going work. per liststaticsegmentmembersadd documentation, should passing static segment id, not name of it. note docs cross-reference when input params can come other calls - parameter there example (it happens returned liststaticsegmentadd).

your options campaigncreate start. documentation has examples below - examples included in php mcapi wrapper downloaded. per above, list_id need 1 list used in liststaticsegment calls (also linked in documentation).

now real key - further down in campaigncreate docs segment_opts parameter - how control segmentation. follow link gives you , you'll find tons of info on ways can segmentation, including using static_segment.

hopefully of made sense, if not, take step , check out these links (and play segmentation in app), should:
