    What I mean is that I have added to my form some checkboxes with a short list of interests.
    I have gone through the tutorial on how to alter the URL of the form so that you can have a checkbox with a pre-set value, but I don’t know how to make it appear on my site.

    Now that I think about it I need to do it on my Facebook page as well… but probably you won’t be able to help me with that.

    Thanks:)

    Hey there, Arka!

    Currently, the plugin doesn’t allow for custom coding your own pre-defined groups, you might find our embedded form a better fit for that specific need:

    However, we do get this feedback quite often, and I’m happy to pass this along to the developers, as well. ??

    Regarding Facebook, you’ve got a couple options! With a release we pushed out a few months ago, MailChimp can now track where some of your subscribers signed up at, including Facebook!

    However, if you’re wanting to add them to a specific group, automatically, your best bet is going to be to check out an integration called “ShortStack”:

    They’ll let you embed a custom form on your Facebook page, so you can add people signing up there to a specific group.

    Cheers

    Hi there,

    thanks for that.

    I have one more question:

    Regarding Facebook, you’ve got a couple options! With a release we pushed out a few months ago, MailChimp can now track where some of your subscribers signed up at, including Facebook!

    https://kb.mailchimp.com/article/an-overview-of-a-subscribers-activity-history#source

    I had a look at what you say, but I cannot find any info on where my subscribers actually subscribed. Am I supposed to activate this feature from somewhere?

    Thanks again:)

    Hey again, Arka!

    That information should be segment-able in your list as well as displayed on the individual subscriber profiles.

    However, if you had a subscriber who signed up through Facebook, you’d see a specific Facebook option, there.

    The same information should also be displayed in their individual profile. In this example, I was already a subscriber on this list before we made those changes, so my “source” was “pre-existing”. However, if a subscriber signed up through Facebook, you’d also see that, there.

    That’s great…
    I have found what you are saying and I have three options: FB form, WP form and hosted form (not sure I know this last one is).
    Anyway, the total of teh subscribers I find through this route is about 1/3 of the total. What happened to the rest?

    Cheers:)

    Oh, now that I think about it I think the hosted form is the one I posted somewhere else…

    Sorry about my lag in reply time!

    But you got it! The hosted form is the one that MailChimp hosts. The url to that from should start with https://eepurl.com/...

    Let me know if you need any other assistance!

    Cheers
