I am in the process of transferring all my client’s forms over to MailChimp due to GDPR.
I have set a form up on my personal site as a test. I have it working, however, MailChimp won’t capture the data added to a text area field in the form created on Webflow.
Ahh, OK. I’m not 100% on this is a didn’t think Mailchimp would/could capture text area fields.
It may be worth setting up a Zapier connection if Mailchimp is not taking the text field, you can add the data to a Google Doc for the client, and then add the email address and other fields to Mailchimp.
So that would be Zapier, Google Docs, MailChimp that will all have to connect to Webflow? Hopefully Webflow can suggest a more simplified workflow, to what was a very simple feature they offered in the platform.
This will help to compare to the field names in the form settings in Webflow.
As a note, I setup a mailchimp with the textarea input and was succesfully able to get that to submit the data, so I think there must be some form field naming conflict somewhere there.
Hi Dave, Got it sorted. The field names didn’t match properly as one was lowercase the other was uppercase. All working now.
One other question though. If I use mail chimp for the contact form, technically a user can only use the form once from the site as Mail Chimp has already collected the data. If for instance someone used the form again a year down the line with a different message, I wouldn’t get the updated message in Mail Chimp, it would be the old one.
Thank’s for the this screenshot - it solved a series of mail chimp form related issues. It should be pinned on top of the forum since people will need to figure out how to solve the form problems on self hosted websites these days.
In particular, this screenshot helped me to setup the MailChimp settings in relation to the different forms (more than one textfield per form) on my website.
I know this forum is pretty old, but i seem to be having an issue that has not been able to get fixed. I noticed my labels were not matching in webflow and mailchimp, so i fixed that however, i am still not getting the button to submit data into the mailchimp form.
