MailChimp Integration – Opt-In Subscribe

[danieltjohnston]

I have a contact form that I want to add an opt-in checkbox to that will allow the person to join our mailchimp newsletter. Is there a way to integrate MailChimp with this form, so that if the user checks the box to join the newsletter, they are added to our MailChimp list, but if they don’t check the box, they are not added.

Thanks for your help. If I wanted to apply this function to multiple forms, all connected to the same mailchimp list, how would I do that?

Thanks again.

Hi Ally,
I finally got a chance to test it out, but it doesn’t seem to be working. No matter if I check the box or not, no email address is pushed through to Mailchimp.

Here’s the code that I’m using, minus my API and list ID…


function my_save_to_mailchimp_location_opt_in($form)
{
if (!in_array('Join our Newsletter - Sign Up for Additional Resources and Cost Savings Ideas', $form->getValue('iphorm_1_9'))) {
return; }

if (!class_exists('MCAPI')) {
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/MCAPI.class.php';
}

$api = new MCAPI('1111111111111111111'); $listId = '11111111111'; $email = $form->getValue('iphorm_1_5');
// OPTIONAL: if you are saving additional fields to MC, set the merge tags, otherwise set $mergeVars to an empty array
/*$mergeVars = array(
'MERGE1' => $form->getValue('iphorm_3_2'), 'MERGE2' => $form->getValue('iphorm_3_3'), 'MERGE3' => $form->getValue('iphorm_1_5') );
*/
// Other settings
$emailType = 'html';
$doubleOptin = true;
$updateExisting = false;
$replaceInterests = false;
$sendWelcome = false;

$api->listSubscribe($listId, $email, $mergeVars, $emailType, $doubleOptin, $updateExisting, $replaceInterests, $sendWelcome);
}
add_action('iphorm_post_process_1', 'my_save_to_mailchimp', 10, 1);

Hi Ally,
I enabled the debug mode logging.

Here’s a copy of the log:

and the page with the form:

Thanks.

Hi Ally,
I temporarily disabled the sending emails on the Form Builder. Here’s the updated log:

I attempted the test @ 15:44 of 3/18.

Hi Ally,
I figured it out, I had failed to update the

add_action('iphorm_post_process_1', 'my_save_to_mailchimp', 10, 1);

to point to the new function name. Once I changed it to this it worked fine.

add_action('iphorm_post_process_1', 'my_save_to_mailchimp_location_opt_in', 10, 1);

Thanks for your help.
