Make CF7 form add to mailchimp without [mc4wp_checkbox]

    Hey Danny,

    I have a CF7 form that I am using to both add people to a mailing list and email me their request. Is there a way to have the submission details passed to Mailchimp without the use of a checkbox? (e.g. they hit submit and their request comes to me and their details are sent to mailchimp)

    I believe this used to work but somewhere in the last couple of versions of the plugin I seem to have lost this ability. When this worked, I had something like mc4wp-your-name which performed what I described above.

    Many thanks!

    Hi Plippers,

    Include this code in your CF7 form.

    <input type="hidden" name="mc4wp-do-subscribe" value="1" />

    Watch out that you’re not violating any internet laws regarding opt-in though.

    Good luck!

    Hey Danny,

    Thanks for the code. Good point on the legality. I was planning on using double opt-in for this and the inclusion in the newsletter is well advertised on the page, but I will for sure double check now that you have mentioned this.

    In a nutshell, I am trying to make a sort of “sign up for newsletter” form like you have included in the plugin, but using CF7 as the medium for this form.
    It’s nothing sneaky I promise!
