If you're experiencing an error with the Mailchimp integration on your Webflow site when filling out the form, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the issue:

  1. Check your API key:
  • Ensure that you have entered the correct Mailchimp API key in the Webflow integrations settings. Double-check for any typos or missing characters.
  1. Verify the list ID:
  • Make sure that the list ID you entered in the form settings matches the ID of the Mailchimp list you want to subscribe users to. Check for any spaces, extra characters, or discrepancies in the list ID.

  • Try submitting the form with a different email address to see if the error persists. This will help confirm whether the issue is specific to one email address or more systemic.
  1. Confirm form field mapping:
  • Check the mapping of form fields to Mailchimp fields. Verify that all required fields are mapped correctly and there are no conflicts between form field types and Mailchimp field types.
  1. Review Mailchimp account settings:
  • Log in to your Mailchimp account and check your account settings. Ensure that your account is active and in good standing. Also, check for any restrictions or limitations that could be causing the integration error.
  1. Test the integration in a different environment:
  • Create a test page in Webflow and set up a basic form with the Mailchimp integration. This will help determine if the issue is specific to a particular page or more widespread.
  1. Contact Webflow support:
  • If you have tried all the troubleshooting steps above and are still experiencing the integration error, reach out to Webflow support for assistance. Provide them with detailed information about the error and the steps you've taken to troubleshoot the issue.
