Hi,
Is there any way I can embed the standard mailchimp code on a page without using the integrated mailchimp system please.

When I use the standard mailchimp embed code, the form appears and does submit but the sucess message does not appear. I think this is because of a javascript conflict.

The mailchimp account is run by another party associated with my client and he has passed me the code below but I dont have direct access to the Mailchimp account.

They definitely want first and last name fields as well as the email field so the standard embed form with canvas would not be quite enough.

Grateful for any advice as to whether it is possible to get the standard embed code to work properly.

Many thanks
Vee

Hello,

Can you please provide us with a Live URL or the Standard Embed Code of the Mailchimp you are trying to use so that we can check out the exact issue and provide you with a more accurate solution for this. Thanks for your Patience.

Additionally, Canvas already supports the First/last name for the Mailchimp Subscription Forms and this functionality can be achieved by using the following Form HTML Code: 

<div class="subscribe-widget subscribe-form clearfix" data-loader="button" style="max-width: 400px;">
	<h5><strong>Subscribe</strong> to Our Newsletter to get Important News, Amazing Offers &amp; Inside Scoops:</h5>
	<div class="widget-subscribe-form-result"></div>
	<form action="include/subscribe.php" role="form" method="post" class="nobottommargin">
		<div class="row clearfix" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
			<div class="col-md-6">
				<input type="input" name="widget-subscribe-form-fname" class="form-control required" placeholder="First Name">
			</div>
			<div class="col-md-6">
				<input type="input" name="widget-subscribe-form-lname" class="form-control required" placeholder="Last Name">
			</div>
		</div>
		<input type="email" name="widget-subscribe-form-email" class="form-control required email" placeholder="Enter your Email" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
		<button class="btn btn-success" type="submit">Subscribe</button>
	</form>
</div>

This will definitely work fine.

Meanwhile, do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.

I have followed your instruction from the documentation to connect to mailchimp. The submitted email got into the list fine. But user received no double opt-in email / any welcome message. Screen display only what's attached instead of a (Thank you / successful) message within the site environment. Can you help? medd.sherlyho.com

Hello,

  1. Simply add the .subscribe-widget Class to the .widget Container having the Subscription Form.

  2. You will need to Enable Double-Optin manually from your Mailchimp Account using the List Settings: http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/enable-or-disable-final-welcome-email .

This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!
