When sending data to Mailchimp I get this API error:


Your request doesn't appear to be valid JSON:
Parse error on line 1:
"{ \"email_address\"
^
Invalid string, it appears you forgot to terminated the string, or attempted to write a multiline string which is invalid

Please correct this as soon as possible

Hey @Tapuat

It appears that you might have made this field required from your MailChimp account which is why it become compulsory for you to pass the data in it.

Further, in the Interset field, you need to pass the value as mentioned in the help text.

So, now kindly give it a try and let us know if that works for you.

About the "interests" instructions, I am sorry but they not clear at all. Where can I find this action Get Interests Information???

 

[Tapuat]

ok I found that you had created an intermediary action called Get Interests. Thank you

I added that information to the Mailchimp action following your instructions but it still does not work. Can you please edit it?

When I type in ["e3036635cd": true] (even if ideally it should be taking the value from the previous action), it works however it creates another issue:
[email protected] is already a list member. Use PUT to insert or update list members.

how can we UPDATE or CREATE instead of CREATE only?

Amazing. However, if I do that then I cannot add a lot of actions afterward (to send the proper message via whatsapp for instance). How can I send the user to a new automation within Pabbly? Or it is not the way to do it?

To clarify, what I am trying to code is the following:
- get zoom registrant to an existing meeting
- create/update user on Mailchimp
- send several reminders via whatsapp to user

All this dynamically populated for the Zoom information source. What is the proper way to do that?

You can ignore the interest option. As I have run it and it was not asking for it.

Regarding your second question, you can add the Whatsapp cloud API in the routers just below Mailchimp and send Whatsapp messages to users.

For Interest, it was not asking for it because I hard coded it: ""e3036635cd": true"

For the other issue, can I place a router within a router? Because I understand that when I want to send several timed messages I need to use a router. Hence my question.

Hey @Tapuat

You can add a delay module in the same router and then add Whatsapp action. By this way you will be sending messages to the users at a specific delay.

For eg, if you want to send 3 messages to the same user, then you can use the delay module and specify the delay in it and send the whatsapp messages.

Please let me know if you are looking for the same.

Wonderful, thank you.

Last question (I hope ), I see that, when sending a whatsapp message, I need to enter the format 4477xxxxxx (without the +). However, the dynamic data has a +. How do I reformat the string?

Hey @Tapuat

Please check the below screenshot, I have added the text formatter and removed the + sign from the number and the number you can use it in the Router.
