s2m and Mailchimp sign up
Posted: May 10th, 2011, 5:14 pmHello;
Not much in the forums on Mailchimp. I couldn't find answers to these questions.
1. I initially had set up Mailchimp as my autoresponder-signup system. I needed secure download options and was advised to get s2m. which I did. Do I still need my original sign up form or do I need to delete it?
2. When does the data transfer from s2m to Mailchimp- at the registration or at the confirmation email from Mailchimp?
3. I was advised by Mailchimp to be sure to identify the actual field names from the actual signin source code to set up in s2m to ensure correct input. I have not been able to see those field names on the default fields like first name, last name. I used the Mailchimp field names for my custom fields.
I also had a multi checklist field in Mailchimp and have set it up in s2m as follows:
field name in Mailchimp "group[17] [??] where [??] is the field for each item coded as 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256
s2m custom field type= Checkboxes(multi options) name = group[17]
option value | option label (pipe delimited)

Do I need to identify each element with the element id [??] ?
