Mailchimp Integration - Merge Tags and submission not working

Hi! I’ve created a form on a page called ‘signup’, which is largely the same as on the other forms through my site, except it now has an input for name. I made this my adding my signup form symbol to the page, unlinking it & then adding the extra input fields.

I have the merge tag set up to match on the field name in webflow:

a) the name tag is not being pulled through to mailchimp.

b) I am getting the error message " Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form." When I try to test it out… All of the other forms seem to be functioning fine.

Any advice?

Thanks so much!

Hi @JanneWassberg, thanks for helping!

Could you tell me how your form differs from mine? I have my action URL in and all other settings seem the same.

I am also having a problem with the |FNAME| merge tag pulling through to Mailchimp.

I can se that your fname is required in MailChimp that could cause a problem

@ailsargh If the email already is in mailchimp you get the opps… error

Be sure that the email is not already in the list.
Remove the reqired field option for fname in MailChimo

This should work

Ahh thank you @JanneWassberg the form submission is going through now.

However the First Name ( FNAME) tag is still not pulling through to Mailchimp.

Thanks for you help on this!

I know about the fname problem, did some resarch but did’t want to spend any time on it.

My elements settings are like this:

Do you have a screen shot of your own that I could check to see I am doing it correctly?
