 * Getresponse returns an error if name is in the API call but empty; however it
   does not return error if name is not submitted at all. Often times a subscription
   form does not ask user for name. So I would suggest to change the code below 
   so not send “name” field if it is empty.
 * File: /lib/functions.php
    Line: 292-300
 *     ```
       if(strlen($name)){
       $body = '{
                          "name": "'.$name.'",
                          "email": "'.$email.'",
                          "dayOfCycle": "10",
                          "campaign": {
                              "campaignId":  "'.$list.'"
                           },
                           "customFieldValues":' . $cadarray . ' ' .
                       '}';
   
       }else{
              $body = '{
                          "email": "'.$email.'",
                          "dayOfCycle": "10",
                          "campaign": {
                              "campaignId":  "'.$list.'"
                           },
                           "customFieldValues":' . $cadarray . ' ' .
                       '}';
       }
       ```
