Troubleshooting Tips

• If your Optin form doesn’t work after setting up your Mailchimp integration, there may be an audience field that is marked as required (an “address” field) which is not used in our integration.You may quickly check and fix this issue by deselecting any required field (except the “email”) within your Mailchimp Audience Settings > Audience fields and *|MERGE|* tags dashboard. You can find your Audience > Settings dashboard by clicking on the Manage Audience dropdown menu at the top-right corner of your Audience dashboard.
