    Is it possible to send WP user role (Admin, Contributor) etc as a field? I have tried:

    add_filter( 'mailchimp_sync_user_data', function( $data, $user ) {
    $data['MERGE3'] = $user->wp_user-settings;
    return $data;
}, 10, 2 );

    Result in mailchimp list was a blank column
    Then I tried

    add_filter( 'mailchimp_sync_user_data', function( $data, $user ) {
    $data['MERGE3'] = $user->wp_user-level;
    return $data;
}, 10, 2 );

    Result in mailchimp was 10 for admins and 0 for all others
    Also tried

    add_filter( 'mailchimp_sync_user_data', function( $data, $user ) {
    $data['MERGE3'] = $user->wp_capabilities;
    return $data;
}, 10, 2 );

    Result in mailchimp list was a blank column
    Wondering how I can get WP user role column into MailChimp?
    Thanks in advance,
    Will

    Hi Will,

    You can simply use role in the “Send additional fields” settings. The plugin will be smart enough to get the user role and send that to your selected MailChimp field.

    Hope that helps. If not, let me know!

    Hi Danny,

    I created a field ‘WP Role’ in the MailChimp list, however I cannot see it in “Send Additional Fields” section, it only shows First Name and Last Name. I also tried using ‘role’ in the filter, none of these solutions work. Any idea what could be going wrong?

    Thanks,
    Will

    Hi Will,

    You have to renew your MailChimp lists cache in the plugin after making changes to your list. You can do this by going to MailChimp for WP > MailChimp and then clicking the “Renew Lists” button.

    Afterwards, you can use “role” in the Send Additional Fields section and then send it to your newly created list field (which should then show up).

    Hope that helps. If not, let me know!

    I’m glad that worked Will! Should you have a quick minute to spare, a plugin review here on www.remarpro.com would make us quite happy. ??

    Same issue here. I renewed the list. The field appeared in the additional fields. I mapped it. But it’s not appearing on the MailChimp end.

    Also, my synching doesn’t appear to be happening automatically. I don’t know what the typical lag-time is, but it’s been 15 minutes and no sync. Manual syncing appears to work, but the ROLE isn’t mapping. And, every time I manual sync, email verifications are sent again even if a user has confirmed previously.

    FYI…I’m using Ultimate Membership Pro plugin (WPIndeed) to sell and manage subscription/memberships. But I’m not integrating sync with their user registration form. Instead, their plugin syncs with WP and I’m using your plugin to sync WP with MailChimp.

    Would appreciate any help.

    disregard. Didn’t know “role” was case sensitive. RESOLVED.
