Mailchimp Webhooks
Hello,
I'm using the MailChimp app. I installed on the local version, and everything synced with my clients lists, subscribers and webhooks. The webhook URLs had my local domain (eg local.MYDOMAIN.org.uk) in rather than live as you would expect.
When I launched on live, I obviously want to re-set up my webhook URLs to act on the live site. I hit sync, and the same URLs show up. Even when I deleted the webhooks in the database, they came back with local.MYDOMAIN.org.uk in. As a last resort, I deleted all the Mailchimp tables from the database, and they were automatically re-created from scratch, still with local.MYDOMAIN.org.uk in.
I tried a different API key. Has the domain somehow been set in Mailchimp rather than in Perch?

Do you have
PERCH_MAILCHIMP_BASE_URLdefined?No, I don't. Would that sort it? I can't see that in docs anywhere...
I may have found an alternative resolution by updating the webhooks directly in Mailchimp (for each list in the List > Settings >Webhooks page). So I think I may be sorted.
I had this all set up without specifying the list ID in my template, so although the form appeared to work it wasn't subscribing anyone - my fault obviously. That is sorted too now.
Thanks.
Unless you set it, the app with use
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']for the base URL for the web hooks.So in most cases you don't need to set
PERCH_MAILCHIMP_BASE_URL. If you're not getting the desired result, it's there to give you control.OK, cool. I think because I installed locally and then uploaded I had to edit in Mailchimp in any case. I guess if I'd set PERCH_MAILCHIMP_BASE_URL before install the webhooks would have been created correctly first time round.
