Mailchimp integration – no opt-in emails or confirmation

I’m having the same issue that I found on the support forum topic “MailChimp Integration Settings” posted on July 24, 2013, at 12:45 pm. I’ve set up MC integration and it is working as far as signing people up to our email list but when I tested it, I didn’t receive an opt-in or confirmation email regarding the e-news signup. I have double opt-in checked in the settings. I haven’t tried adding a group to MailChimp yet because I assume since that last support topic was from 2013 that bug would have been fixed. I also didn’t see anything saying that we need to create groups for the plugin to work.

Hi there,

Can you clarify:

I have double opt-in checked in the settings

Does that mean you have the “Skip Double Opt-in emails.” setting checked or unchecked? https://www.screencast.com/t/4YM6turIQ

I meant that it’s unchecked.

Can you update your plugins and then test again?

I see my email was added to Mailchimp but I still have not received an opt-in email. Unless it takes time for it to send?

MailChimp fairly recently made changes t their API and we push an update for the MailChimp add-on to update the library we used when connecting to them to accommodate for those.

Can you update to the latest version of the MailChimp add-on?

Not usually no…. have you previously been added to that list before?

I updated the right before I ran the new test registration. I have been added to the list before but I unsubscribed myself before I registered for the last test event.

IIRC that changes how MailChimp handle your subscription and they may not send the double opt in for it, although I could be wrong there.

If that’s the case, how I can test it? I want to see what registrants are receiving.

I deleted my email from Mailchimp and it’s not signing me up at all when I register.

Can you do two test. Did it work if you Skip double opt-in emails.?

Can you also confirm if you did set the mailchimp in your event page?

Yes, it is set on the event page.
I checked skip opt-in, and it signed me up, but I still don’t know if the opt-in emails will work.

Interestingly, when I uncheck the skip opt-in it no longer signs me up on Mailchimp.

Sorry for the delay. Were you able to receive the sing-up in your inbox or spam?

We will also try to replicate this issue, and we will get back to you.

thanks

I finally received the opt-in email. Thank you everyone for your help!

That’s a little frustrating, the opt-in emails are usually fairly quick.

Either way I’m glad its working for you now, any further issues please let us know.
