Gibbon does allow you to create and trigger campaigns through the Mailchimp API v3. You have to use Gibbon version >= 2.1.3 to send campaigns, because there was a bug in the earlier versions.

Gibbon's readme file was recently updated with examples.

To create a campaign:

recipients = {
  list_id: list_id,
  segment_opts: {
    saved_segment_id: segment_id
  }
}
settings = {
  subject_line: "Subject Line",
  title: "Name of Campaign",
  from_name: "From Name",
  reply_to: "[email protected]"
}

body = {
 type: "regular",
 recipients: recipients,
 settings: settings
}

begin
  gibbon.campaigns.create(body: body)
rescue Gibbon::MailChimpError => e
  puts "Houston, we have a problem: #{e.message} - #{e.raw_body}"
end

To send a campaign:

gibbon.campaigns(campaign_id).actions.send.create

To get stats:

email_stats = gibbon.reports(campaign_id).retrieve["opens"]
