Getting form information in Mailchimp

Tim Schuit asked on April 26, 2016 10:47

We have various forms on the website where customers can ask questions to different parts of the company. A while back we started a mailinglist using mailchimp. What we want to do now is add a checkbox to a few forms with a "Subscribe to our newsletter" question. The question I have is this:

How do I get the information of specific fields (ie: first name, last name, email-address) into mailchimp while still keeping the functionality of the original form?

basically, I want a form with two different actions, one to the kentico part, and one two the mailchimp part.. any help or direction would be helpful :) thanks!

Just dealt with this as well, but instead of mailchimp, I was writing into pardot. I did the approach a bit differently, but same general idea as Anton(taking the data and sending to 3rd party after submission). I cloned the original bizform webpart and created an onaftersave event which sent a post directly to the other service. This allowed me to reuse the same webpart and build in properties like url to post to, field mapping, etc. Worked well for me, but Anton's suggestion would most likely work as well, just may not allow you to have as much control, which in your case, may not matter as much, since it is just the checkboxes on a couple forms.

Let me know if you need more specifics and I can see if I can help.

Alas, I can't work in the source myself. (The server is hosted elswhere, I can only reach the CMS) so although the answer is probably correct, for now i have no way of testing it :)

Any workaround working just in the CMS parts?
