Mailchimp check box

    Hello,
    I created a module with your awesome plugin.

    I also connected mailchimp, but there doesn’t seem to be any option to create a newsletter subscription acceptance box in the form.
    Does the registration take place automatically?
    If I’m not mistaken, the GDRP says that for each request there must be a request box, so even this case of subscription to the newsletter I should put one.
    I could add a generic checkbox, but if the subscription happens automatically, this would not disable the subscription in case the user doesn’t want to be subscribed.

    One last thing, but how do I assign form subscriptions to a tag or a Mailchimp group? I don’t think I’ve seen any options.

    Thank you

    Hi @woodypad,

    You can use the “GDPR” field which should provide users with a checkbox during submission as mentioned in the following doc:
    https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#gdpr-field

    Could you please check the above and see whether it fits your needs?

    At the moment, I’m afraid there isn’t any out of the box integration to select tags or groups.

    This is something that our team is considering implementing down the plugin’s roadmap, but at the moment I’m afraid there isn’t any exact ETA that we could share regarding the status of this feature but can confirm the feature is given a high priority by the developers.

    Please do let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Kind Regards,

    Hi thanks for your reply,
    for the GDPR box, it does not solve the problem.

    As I wrote before, if the subscription to Mailchimp occurs automatically, this will not disable the subscription in case the user does not want to be subscribed.
    In any case, your plugin will send the subscription to Mailchim.
    So in the list I will also have email addresses, which don’t want to be subscribed.

    Thank you

    Hi @woodypad,

    Thanks for explaining further, unfortunately, there isn’t an out of the box setting regarding this at the moment, but can confirm this feature is already being considered by our team in future updates.

    In the meanwhile, you can try the following snippet which should help with achieving a similar workflow:
    https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/2123f0d60eb5c6f44c84ae9c3d1034a7

    Please do note you’ll have to edit the above share code in following instances:
    1. Edit line 27 replacing the ‘campaignmonitor’ to ‘mailchimp’
    2. On line 23 you need to enter the ID of your checkbox which would be used by users to opt in or not. The checkbox ID for example would be like: “checkbox-1”.

    Once edited, you can add the snippet as an MU plugin. Please check this link on how to implement the above code as a mu-plugins:
    https://premium.wpmudev.org/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins

    I hope this helps. Please do let us know if you have any further query.

    Kind Regards,
    Nithin
