Use opt in checkbox to subscribe form email to Mailchimp audience

Bristlebird · Jan 21st 2021

I would like to use an opt in checkbox in a contact form to automatically subscribe the user's email address to a Mailchimp audience / list. The Mailchimp app is supposed to be able to do this by including the confirm_subscribe field as described here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/ad…amples/subscription-form/

Code

<perch:input type="checkbox" value="1" id="confirm" mailer="confirm_subscribe">

I've installed the Mailchimp app on a staging server, added the api key & hit sync but no list, subscriber or campaign data’s coming in from the Mailchimp account (very little data on this account).

Without the data from Mailchimp, I have no list id to include in the form! Is the Mailchimp app still working for anyone else out there?

Many thanks!

We haven't had any issues with syncing lists, subscribers or campaign data. Are there any error logs in the perch debug?

Hey thanks Byron... forgot to check perch debug which showed some db tables missing – the app deployment may have skipped a few files so I've re-installed the app and the list is showing up now. Got the optin working too.
