Mailchimp subscription optional

  1. I could be missing something really simple, just trying to find out how I can add a field which essentially allows users to opt into signing up to MailChimp.

    At the moment my contact form will automatically add user to a list but I'm after users having a choice and don't want to force them into signing up.

    I've had a dig around and can't seem to find what I'm after but I have a feeling it's something rather simple I've not picked up on.

  2. Sure thing, so what you can do is create a checkbox field - and label it. For the choice -- you can place text such as: "Opt-In to our mailing list" or something of that nature. Then in your mailchimp feed you can set the condition there.

    It's Item #6 on this page:

    "Enable an opt-in condition. The opt-in condition is a conditional statement that requires a check box, radio button, or drop down selection to determine if the data should be sent to MailChimp."
