Mailchimp subscribers
Hello,
I have set up Mailchimp for a website using perch. I have 2 different forms, which display on the same page. Now I've got 2 problems:
- Subscribers show up in the Mailchimp App in 'Lists', but not in 'Subscribers'.
- When I subscribe an email to LIST 1 and I want the same email to subscribe to LIST 2, debug tells me:
{"type":"https://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/guides/error-glossary/","title":"Member Exists","status":400,"detail":"peter@peter.peter is already a list member. Use PUT to insert or update list members.","instance":"3ce3332e-0a44-48bb-bf4a-e7fe47e0dfa5"}
Even though the subscriber only shows up on LIST 1, so it can't already be a subscriber of LIST 2.
FORM 1/LIST 1:
<perch:form class="form-js" id="bijdrage" app="perch_mailchimp">
<div class="form-input">
<i class="fa fa-user"></i>

If he's already on your lists I think you need to modify the subscription rather than create a new one.
Do you really want two lists? Usually it's best to keep one list and segment it with interests.
Hi Drew,
Both forms need to subscribe to different lists. Is this possible?
Mike
I think you can only subscribe to one list at a time.
I'm not sure if you understand what I mean.
Here is a screenshot of a part of the website with two different forms. https://imgur.com/0rB0j87
Both forms have to subscribe a user to different lists.
But when I only subscribe with the first form to list ID '086449a03c', and then subscribe to the second form ID '841b49085d' it says that I am already subscribed to '841b49085d', even though I only show up in Mailchimp on list '086449a03c'.
Sorry if you did understand me and it's just not possible.
UPDATE:
When I fill in the first form, I subscribe to list 1, if I then subscribe to list 2, it says I'm already subscribed.
BUT
When I reload the page by myself after subscribing to list 1 and then subscribe to list 2, it works!
How can I fix this?
Are you posting the first form to a page that includes the second? If so, put
env-autofill="false"on your list ID field.Yes! That fixed it!
Thank you very much Drew!
