MailChimp Mapping Fileds Issue

  1. Hi,

    I created a form in gravity form, one of the element I used is checkbox where users are allowed to pick multiple answers. How do I integrate the checkbox with Mailchimp?

    Thanks!

  2. Hey there....

    You need to go into your account for MC and and go to the List Fields and add the appropriate and you should see them in GF

  3. It seems to me that Mailchimp treats checkbox fields as multiple fields. So if you have a Gravity checkbox field with Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3, you need to create 3 fields in Mailchimp, each matching one of your options. Mailchimp doesn't have a native checkbox field unless you use Groups, which is kind of a hack.

  4. What @koamedia has described is correct. That is how you have to handle things.

    But I wouldn't say it's a hack, checkboxes ARE multiple fields. Each individual checkbox is an input. So each checkbox is an individual field.

    Even in Gravity Forms while we let you add multiple checkboxes to a single field, they are actually multiple inputs displayed together.

    Because of the fact checkboxes are individual fields this is why the checkbox field in Gravity Forms is actually one of the most complex fields in the form editor to work with from a coding and dynamic population viewpoint.
