listSubscribe() not sending email notification

[jlh1621]

My website's members have an Account Page that lets them change their
profile including whether or not they want to be opted-in to my
MailChimp powered newsletter. I am using the MailChimp API (php) to
subscribe or unsubscribe them according to the preference they set.
Both operations appear to be working fine, except I do not get
notified when the listSubscribe() call is made. By 'notified' I mean,
my MailChimp list settings are such that I should be getting emailed
every time someone subscribes or unsubscribes from the list. I DO get
notified via email when listUnsubscribe() is called.

Why am I not getting the email notifications for listSubscribe() calls?

Notifications are only sent when someone confirms a double opt in
request. Since you are using the API, you can easily capture those
requests in your application and do something or subscribe to Webhooks
and do something with those requests.

Ok, that would explain why I get notified of listunsubscribe() and not
subscribe().

Yes, I will just add my own mail() function.

thanks
