Question about MailChimp integration having multiple email addresses

    Asked on July 18, 2018 at 5:14 PM

    I made a registration form for a child’s activity.  In it, we ask for the parent’s name and email address, and also have an option for them to add a second parent’s name and email address.

    I would like to be able to add both parents to our Mailchimp list, but only see a way to add one parent through the MailChimp integration.  Is there a way to add the second parent’s to our MailChimp list automatically, if this information is filled out?

    Thank you.

    I checked with MailChimp and they don't support that as of the moment. When submitting a form, they only allow/validate 1 email per subscriber per form submission.

    What you can do instead is to add a custom textbox in your MailChimp and label it e.g. Secondary Email so you can map it with JotForm on the MC Integration. The downside is that this is added as 1 subscriber only, not separated.

    Example:

    I don’t know if this helps me, because it is not a secondary email address for the same parent, but an email address for another parent, so it should be another name and another email to be added to the MailChimp list.  I need the second parent’s name and email to be a second entry from the same form.

    Thanks anyway.

    Unfortunately, this option is not available with Mailchimp or with the integration. You can only have 1 subscriber on each submission.

    Thank you for your understanding.
