First and last name not syncing

Hey Marc,

To sync additional fields, there are 2 ways. You can use custom code. You can learn more about it at https://github.com/ibericode/mc4wp-snippets/blob/master/integrations/integration-slugs.md.

Please note that you will need to modify the code to suit your needs as it’s just an example general purpose code.

Another way would be to use “User Sync” plugin to sync additional fields to MailChimp.

I hope that answers your query. Let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi Harish,

Thanks, only the first option would work for me as I use anonymous bookings (no user gets created).

So would this code for form me if my Events Manager booking form field_id is first_name and my MailChimp field name is FNAME?

add_filter( 'mc4wp_integration_events-manager_subscriber_data', function( MC4WP_MailChimp_Subscriber $subscriber ) {
    $subscriber->merge_fields[ "FNAME" ] = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['first_name'] );
    return $subscriber;
});

Best,
Marc

Hey Marc,

Yes, that should work. Did you try it yet?

Hi Harish,

Great, I tested it and it works for the first name. Now I need to add the last name as well. Would that be correct ?

dd_filter( 'mc4wp_integration_events-manager_subscriber_data', function( MC4WP_MailChimp_Subscriber $subscriber ) {
    $subscriber->merge_fields[ "FNAME" ] = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['first_name'] );
    $subscriber->merge_fields[ "LNAME" ] = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['last_name'] );
    return $subscriber;
});

Thanks,
Marc

Hey Marc,

Yes, that is correct code :).

Thanks, it works great.
