Hey guys!
I’ve just done a bit of checking and it seems that only some registrations are being sent to mailchimp – it was working seamlessly for a while but I’m noticing now that only some registrations are making it onto the Mailchimp lists, and I’m not having to manually add them. I thought initially it might be the manual registrations that aren’t being sent but I know of a user registration that hasn’t been sent to the list as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a mailchimp signup plugin but that’s never interfered historically (it’s not a new addition to the site).
Thanks,
Drew.

Hi Drew,
Are some of those who registered for events deciding not to opt in to the mailing list?

Hey Josh!
They shouldn’t be – I disabled the verification email. I don’t see how it would be an option at that point?? Or am I missing something?

So you have the Skip double opt-in emails box checked, can you check to see what’s set for “Submit to MailChimp when…” Depending on what’s set there, and which payment gateway is in use, it could have a bearing on whether a new registration passes its email to MailChimp.

Well it was set to “registration is completed with an approved status”, but I changed that today to “subscriber submits information” in the hopes that it would send all the ones currently there… does that retroactively apply, or not?

The change doesn’t retroactively apply, it only affects new registrations going forward.

So you think that will be a better selection moving forward then?
And I’ll need to manually add the ones I’ve missed, right?

You’ll get more email addresses sent to MailChimp that way, which may or may not be better depending on whether you want all registration form submissions sent to MailChimp.
And I’ll need to manually add the ones I’ve missed, right?
Correct.

Okay great – yeah we’ve set it up to add them to specific a list for that specific event, simply to send reminders and detailed information to people about the one thing they signed up for – we’re not using it to send them any marketing materials.
Thanks Josh. Fingers crossed this solves it.

Just to note, its possible to use the Registration CSV to import the missed registrations into your MailChimp list, take a look here:
