Get Submitters as Email List

[aguywithanidea]

For newsletter purposes - how can we support this?

Phase 1 is to generate email list. Phase 2 is to import into Mailchimp for them

Need :

• name
• email address
• submission count
• If Published (yes/no)
• last submission date

MailChimp integration dependent upon API key and having the proper List name to import into.

Dependent upon Server feature #280

TODO:

• add error logic to ensure that we have both API key and List id
• optionally add query logic to ensure that they are accessible (test adding a heypublisher account?)
• add more info to the contextual help about this feature
• explain that it's "BETA"

[aguywithanidea]

Instead of doing this as stated, the solution will be to prompt users to add themselves to Mailchimp mailing list at the time they submit work for submission. This is only shown for new writers (those without a bio) as it's shown on the bio screen.

We can revisit later if we choose.
