Although lots are related, I haven't been able to find an existing issue or documentation specific to this query.

We have an automation set up in Mailchimp which is triggered when users are subscribed to a particular interest group. This group though is hidden on Mailchimp (ie. it doesn't appear in our Mailchimp subscribe forms as a preference) as it is set up to service a below-the-line user journey for content marketing purposes, and we do not wish for this to be an open selection from our Mailchimp user preferences form.

We have been investigating the Mailchimp module in the hope it can help us integrate properly and automate this process further by subscribing users automatically to the group once a Drupal webform has been submitted. Our developers have been unable to get this working in the desired way though, as the hidden interest group does not appear in the module's UI for us to select.

Is there any way around this, or does the interest group have to be visible on our Mailchimp preferences form in order for this to work?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

IMHO We should definitively be able to setup hidden groups in Mailchimp to track segments and put submission into these segments based on any webform submission.

So the groups listed in Webform Mailchimp configuration form should also include hidden ones.
Maybe add a "(hidden)" in the group label?

This patch makes hidden interest groups visible in a Webform Mailchimp handler configuration. However, it needs patch #2 from #2920238: Interest Groups not showing in handler config form to make any interest group visible.

This is looks IMHO fine.

Tested and works. Only on edit though. But it seems that's a different issue.. created follow-up.
