What is the easiest way to pass data from a custom field to a MailChimp MERGE field. I set up a form that will ask users if they want to receive monthly emails. I use a checkbox on the Subscriber form (labeled “optin”) that I then set up the custom field to push the value “yes” to MailChimp through the Custom Fields section. I used the proper MERGE field number which points to a radio button field in the Sign Up form in MailChimp with “yes” and “no” options.
When I test, the “yes” value is not being passed. Help.

So the name of your input should match the name of field associated with the MERGE field. e.g. if you had a checkbox like so:
<input type="checkbox" name="custom_field" value="yes" />
In the backend, you’d use the name custom_field and whatever MERGE field you wanted that value to go to.

Hey Wes, I’m not getting my Custom Fields passed to MailChimp.
My form is using Freeform Pro and I have a single custom field:
Field name: job_title
Merge Tag: MMERGE5
My code:
{exp:subscriber:form form_id="1"}
<input type="hidden" value="Java" name="job_title" class="">
<input type="hidden" name="subscribe_to_newsletter" value="yes" />
The user does get signed up and it is with or without the ‘subscribe_to_newsletter’ field. The Job Title value doesn’t get passed to MC however
What am I missing?

The job_title field needs to be an actual Freeform field and not just a static field.
Thanks Wes!
