MailChimp - Variable Content based on the FirstNames in the List - asp.net

I have a list named "Students" of 500 members. Email will be sent to each member. Two things in the email content will be specific to each member. First one is:
Dear Michael
Michael will be replaced by each members First Name. Second is:
Click here
Click here will have a link behind redirecting each member to different target.
Followed this How to Create a campaign in MailChimp using ASP.Net
I am able to create a campaign using API, but I need to go further with or without API.

I've done this before for an email using personalisation. I didn't send it through MailChimp but I found this article that could help you: http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/getting-started-with-merge-tags/
In your list if you add a field for the student's first name and another field for the the link then you should be able to use merge tags to add that data to wherever you want it to be in your email.

Is it possible to pass a special query parameter value to a WooCommerce product link?

I am looking to use WooCommerce in a bit of a strange way, and I'm wondering if there is any way to make this possible. Here's my desired workflow:
Step #1: From a different site subdomain, provide a link to a certain virtual product, but with a query parameter with a unique user id number.
Explanation: The user is at othersite.example.com, and they get a link to buy a product in a WooCommerce store set up with a wordpress site at https://example.com/product/virtual-product
However, this product will be a payment to unlock something on the othersite.example.com site which has its own user and authentication system. (Firebase)
Would it be possible to pass a user id from the othersite.example.com by way of a url query parameter and then have that included in the order info?
ie. From the othersite.example.com someone could be given a link to the product like this https://example.com/product/virtual-product?userid=00000000000000000, with 00000000000000000 being their user id at othersite.example.com.
Then if that userid query value could be included in the order, the following steps should be doable.
Step #2: Have a webhook that fires when the product is purchased, telling a server managing the users for othersite.example.com that the user with userid 00000000000000000 has made a successful purchase of that product.
Is there a way to accept custom values like this to the order? Or is this totally out of the scope of WooCommerce's functionality?
Thanks so much.
I believe that it can be done by using a redirection/link directly to the checkout page, like: "http://yourdomain.com/checkout/?add-to-cart=PRODUCTID&000000" (tested)
In the example, "checkout" stands for the name of your checkout page, "PRODUCTID" stands for the id of desired product, "000000" stands for the user id of redirected person in the other website.
Then you can add a hidden input field to the checkout page (into checkout form, so you will see this value in order) and using the URL you can assign the "000000" (user id) to the value of this field.
I hope that works. If you have any problems with implementation, you can ask me.

How to ensure that the username that is auto-populated does not get replaced by another one in InfoPath

I have an approve and reject form having three views. In the first view i.e the requester's view I auto-populate the requester name by using "GetUserProfileByName". Now I also want to auto populate the name of the user who approves the form in a different view (but this view also has the requester's name)- so I was wondering if I actually use "GetUserProfileByName" again won't it change the first name too (i.e the requester's name). I don't have other accounts to test it out.
Can someone please provide a workaround to this problem
So basically I want this to happen:- For example when John enters the form his name should be auto populated in the requester's name field. And once this form is send to Michelle who approves it - the approver's name field should have been autopopulated with Michelle's name.
How can I avoid overwriting of data.
Thank you for helping
Add fields to the form data source to store the data returned from GetUserProfileByName service. Do not use default values for the values in these fields. Instead, I generally use form load rules for this - run the query, and then, if the requester field is blank, set the field to the user's name from the datasource.
When the approved view is submitted, you can take a similar approach with the approver name field - if it is blank, set it.

WP: Best approach to to link a post to a person

I think this question is common, but I dont find a final solution.
Lets say I have a post type "event", what is the best approach to link a certain post to a certain person (speaker).
at the end i need a list of all speakers (alphabetical, according to their lastname) and of course the information of the speaker in a list of posts and single post view.
The speaker needs 4 data-fields: firstname, lastname, short-bio, weblink.
For a single event the amount of speker could be 1 ore many.
As far as I consider there a three different approaches to do this:
Custom fields
All needed custom fields are added directly to the cpt "events" using for example an acf repeater field.
the fields are blank textfields but a jquery ui script is providing an autocompleate feature with all values from the database (all firstnames, lastnames…)
Disadvantages from my perspektive: not so easy to query (especially when i have more than one speaker). The information about one certain speaker needed to give for every events.
Advantage: all information about a certain event, including the information about the speaker are editable on one page in the backend.
Posttype: "Speaker"
A second posttype named "speaker" will store all the infos about one speaker. An event could be related to one ore many speakers, for example by using the acf relationship field.
Disadvantages: all the information about the speaker are to be edit on another page in the backend. The user has first to create a speaker and second link this speaker to an event.
- question: is it possible, to include a second posttype into the backend of another posttype? For example by providing the possibility to create a new speaker inside the backend of the poststype "events"?
advantages: easy to query, easy to link a event to many speaker
Custom Taxonomy
I never tried this but maybe it is a good idea if possible.
The user can choose, add and edit a custom taxonomy providing all the informations (name, firstname, bio etc).
Is it possible to use more than one field for a custom taxonomy directly in the edit post view?
Maybe there is a final answer for this question?
I don't think their is a best approach, it depends on your need and your information architecture.
For example I may have a archive page of all speakers, so I can list all speakers and I can display the speaker's detail through the url http://mysite/speaker/ucheng. In this condition, I would prefer the post type solution.
Another Solution: Speaker User Role
What if you allow the speaker to edit their profile or upload some material for the event? If you want to do this, use default WordPress User and create a speaker role for it, so you can do some access control. Also, I can list the speakers on the frontend, and link the user to the event by using ACF.
For me, I would prefer the user role solution.

Drupal Views Content Profile User as an argument

I have a normal Drupal User. I have used the content_profile module to create a profile content type. This content type contains a node reference to another content type company. The company node then references a type of node called Task.
I want to create a view that list all the tasks for a given user id.
So I imagine I would create a view with an argument of user id. Then I would add the relationship to the profile and the company and output the Task title.
The user id used seems to work on the created used ID and not the user id of the content profile that it is referencing. In our system the "admin" user creates the profiles so it causing some problems.
Any ideas? I feel I may need to write a custom module to do what I want.
i have answered a similar question in the past about how to create a view using part of the url as an argument to filter the view by the user profile. check out this url. the answer you are looking for may be a variation of my original response.
also, how are you creating those profiles? on one of my sites, when i created the profile page, its author ID is automatically changed to the user it is associated with.
