Dear team,

Referring to this thread: https://eventespresso.com/topic/ticket-url-to-mailchimp/

This worked well for a couple of months, but since a week or two the mergefields are no longer filled in Mailchimp.

On my side I did not change anything in the plugins. I did change the structure of the lists in Mailchimp, but that’s reflected well in the event setup page and all other data (name, mail address, phone number) is stored correctly in Mailchimp.

This is the custom code included in the custom code plugin:

//This function passes the next upcoming datetime start_date within the subscribe call to MailChimp.
//You need to add a EVENTDATE merge var to your mailchimp list for this to work.

function tw_eea_mailchimp_start_date( $subscribe_args, $registration, $EVT_ID ) {
	//Check we have a valid EE Registration
	if( $registration instanceof EE_Registration ) {
		
		//Pull the merge_vars array from $subscribe_args.
		$merge_vars = $subscribe_args['merge_vars'];
		//Pull the datetimes assigned to this ticket that have a start date greater than today.
		$where = array( 'DTT_EVT_start' => array( '>=', current_time( 'mysql' ) ) );
		$datetimes = $registration->ticket()->datetimes( array( $where,	'order_by'=> array('DTT_EVT_start' => 'ASC' ) ) );
		//Use the first datetime.
		$datetime = reset($datetimes);
		//Add the 'EVENTDATE' merge var and use the datetimes start_date for the value.
		$merge_vars['EVENTDATE'] = $datetime->start_date( 'Y-m-d' );
		//Add the
		$reg_url_link = $registration->reg_url_link();
		$merge_vars['URLPART'] = $reg_url_link;
		//Add the merge vars back into the subscriptions args.
		$subscribe_args['merge_vars'] = $merge_vars;
	}
	
	return $subscribe_args;
}
add_filter('FHEE__EE_MCI_Controller__mci_submit_to_mailchimp__subscribe_args', 'tw_eea_mailchimp_start_date', 10, 3);

I’m using:
Event Espresso 4.9.22.p
Event Espresso – MailChimp (EE4.4.5+) 2.3.3.p

Any thoughts on what could cause this?

Best,
Luc
