Integration with custom form of another plugin

Hey Siddhesh,

Please make sure to name the form fields similar to the field names in your MailChimp list and also prefix them with “mc4wp-“. Also, please check if your custom form uses WordPress default mechanism to submit and process form.

Hi Harish,

My custom form email field code:
<input id=”wpmtst_email” type=”email” class=”text email” name=”email” value=”” tabindex=”0″>

Does it require to prefix with “mc4wp-” i.e. name=”mc4wp-email” ??

Also how the request will be made to your server when form is submitted??
Since submit button:
<input type=”submit” id=”wpmtst_submit_testimonial” name=”wpmtst_submit_testimonial” value=”Add Testimonial” class=”button” tabindex=”0″>

Hi,

Did you activated the integration under MailChimp for WP > Integrations > Custom?

Do you have double opt-in turned ON in that screen? MailChimp will only send final welcome email to contacts that are double opt in as per their latest policy.

I would *think* that our plugin will capture this email, putting mc4wp- in front of a field name makes 100% sure our integration will pick it up.

You can turn on Debug logging on the “Other” page of our plugin and see if there is any message after submitting the custom form? It can even be a required field missing or the testing email might be banned for signing up too many times.

Hope that helps,

Hi,
Custom field integration is active . Also double opt-in is on.

But now i’m trying to submit 2 forms
— One is my custom form
— 2nd mailchimp default form
Before 1st form(custom) get submit, i have written script to submit mailchimp form
and it works fine( email is received) when i prevent submission of custom form.

My question is if i want to submit both forms, do i need to put delay between the 2??
or any other method??

You should not need two forms if you use our custom integration. But you do need to include the “checkbox” to signup for the newsletter into your custom form. You can make that a hidden field if it’s implicit.

Please see: https://kb.mc4wp.com/add-sign-checkbox-custom-form/

If you already included that and it’s still not working the first place to check is the log via MailChimp for WP > Other in your wp-admin.

Please post a link to your page where we can test the form if you need more help.

Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for your help. Much appreciate it
I managed to solve the issue with single form as you said.

Just a suggestion:
Please make documentation for custom integration much clear as there are some hidden fields which are need to be pass along with form like form-id , form attributes while form submission.

Thanks for letting us know. Glad to hear it is working for you now.

For any readers who are looking for documentation on custom integration, please see:
