Hello, I have set up events to sync to MailChimp segments – however it has not been working. The API key is confirmed. It had worked in the past but now its not.

Thank you!

Hi Karen,

The integration asks an attendee/registrant to complete a double-optin so once they register on your site, then they click a confirmation via MailChimp to finish the process.

Are you using Event Espresso 3 or Event Espresso 4 for your project?

Hi Lorenzo,

Oh I see! But I checked “Skip double opt-in emails.” in the mailchimp settings. Does it still require the double opt-in?

Thanks!

Hi Karen,

If you log into your MailChimp account -> extras -> api keys.

On that page you’ll find a log of all api calls made in the last 24 hours. Do you have failed ‘list/subscribe’ calls there?

I’m assuming that the X means fails and check mark are successes. Most of the Xes are “Already Subscribed” which is fine. There is one (-99) Unknown_Exception – not sure what that could be?

Yes that’s correct.

It’s a failure within the MailChimp api, unfortunately MailChimp themselves don’t know what the error was, so neither can we currently.

If you test a registration with a new email address does it show successful in the list?
