Not adding to Groups

Hello @delawaregrad,

Can you please try adding “mc4wp-” before the field name, for e.g.

<input name="MC4WP-INTERESTS[db95e7cee0][]" type="checkbox" value="c6411595cf" checked>

Let us know if this resolves the issue.

Adding the mc4wp does work, thank you… but since I am using CF7, the confirmation information email displays numbers, not the group name. I had tried using [mc4wp-INTERESTS]. Is there something else I can add to the CF7 email that would list the group name selected?

When I use
[checkbox mc4wp-MUSICGROUP “Marching Band” “Orchestra” …]
The person’s name is added to the Mail Chimp list, but not into any groups selected. Is there a different syntax I should be using?

thank you for the response.

Hello @delawaregrad,

Can you please share more details of what you mean by “confirmation information email displays numbers”? Can you please share any screenshots?

I can’t get the code to work using CF7 syntax, and I think this happened a couple of years ago and I ended up using code similar to what you included “<input name'mc4wp.....>”

This code works great, except in the Contact Form email that is sent after the visitor completes the form, I don’t know what syntax to use so that the groups checked are printed on the email. As in: “You have signed up to receive emails from Marching Band.” Generally I would use the name of the field, like [mc4wp-LNAME], but this is what I’m have:

The form has checkboxes like this:
<input name="MC4WP-INTERESTS[db95e7cee0][]" type="checkbox" value="c6411595cf" checked>

I tried, in the confirmation email, variations of this:
MC4WP-INTERESTS[db95e7cee0][]

Which just prints that line: MC4WP-INTERESTS[db95e7cee0][] and not Marching Band.

My question is:
1) Is there a way to use the checkbox code and also have a CF7 email confirmation list what was signed up for?
2) If not, is it possible for groups to be signed up for using CF7 with this plugin? The MC website, under their forms, shows the checkbox as:
name="group[1][1]" id="mce-group[1]-1-1" but I don’t know how to translate that into the contact form.

Thanks!

Same issue as I am having … would love to know an answer.

I too would like to be able to confirm to my subscribers in the same way using the GROUPS, but this doesn’t seem possible.

Hi @delawaregrad,

I have had the same challenge, and with the awesome help of Danny from MC4WP, he has come up with a solution that works.

This is possible but for this to work, the plugin needs your interest category ID. It can then use the textual group name + the category to determine the actual interest group ID before sending the value off to MailChimp. You can find this interest category ID by going to the form editor in our plugin and then add the interest grouping to your form. You should see HTML that looks a bit like this.

<input name="INTERESTS[c503c0f57d][]" type="checkbox" value="0f8a0ed3bd"> <span>Group 1</span>

In this case, the part between the brackets is your interest category ID, “c503c0f57d”. Your CF7 mark-up should then read like this (in HTML, not sure about the CF7 code but I’m sure you do):

<input name="mc4wp-INTERESTS[interest-category-id][]" type="checkbox" value="Interest Group Name"> <span>My checkbox text</span>

**(the “My checkbox text” can be the same value as “Interest Group Name” if you like – which was what I needed.)

** In your MAIL tab on CF7, you then insert [mc4wp-INTERESTS] wherever you want this information to display.

Hope that helps. Sorry for this being somewhat hard, we’re going to show the interest category ID in the table overview on the MailChimp for WP > MailChimp page to make this easier next time.
