Preferred format (html/plain text) not making it to mailchimp

    I’m using the plugin with Contact Form 7. My form is successfully adding subscriptions and transferring forename, surname and email address, but the preferred email format (HTML or plain-text) is not:

    <label for="EMAILTYPE">Email format</label>
[radio mc4wp-EMAILTYPE id:EMAILTYPE use_label_element default:1 "HTML|html" "Plain-text|text"]

    I’ve tried with and without the mc4wp- prefix, variations on the EMAILTYPE, with and without the use_label_element, default set to 0 , no default tag at all. The value in mailchimp is always html.

    I’ve even thrown into CF7 the raw html from mailchimp to no avail:

    <div class="mc-field-group input-group">
<strong>Email Format </strong>
<ul>
<li><input type="radio" value="html" name="EMAILTYPE" id="mce-EMAILTYPE-0"><label for="mce-EMAILTYPE-0">html</label></li>
<li><input type="radio" value="text" name="EMAILTYPE" id="mce-EMAILTYPE-1"><label for="mce-EMAILTYPE-1">text</label></li>
</ul>
</div>

    Can’t find anything on what I’m doing wrong. Any insight would be most welcome. Cheers.

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    Is the “EmailType” a custom field you created in your MailChimp.com List(Audience)? If not then please note that our plugin will not be able to send these details to MailChimp.

    Appreciate the response.

    It’s not a custom field, more of an optional Mailchimp default. There is a checkbox in the form builder “Let subscribers pick email format (Plain-text or HTML)”.

    I take it this is still beyond the capability of plugin, and maybe the API in general?

    Hello,

    I regret to say our plugin would not be able to set this information using data sent by our forms.
