I'm using MailChimp's API to subscribe email to a list. Function listsubscribe() is used for email subscription:
public static listSubscribe(string apikey, string id, string email_address, array merge_vars, string email_type, boolean double_optin, boolean update_existing, boolean replace_interests, boolean send_welcome)
I downloaded MailChimp's official .NET wrapper for their API
When looking in Visual Studio, this is one of overloaded functions:
listSubscribe(string apikey, string id, string email_address, MCMergeVar[] merges)
When I click on definition of MCMergeVar[], this comes out:
[XmlRpcMissingMapping(MappingAction.Ignore)]
public struct MCMergeVar
{
public string name;
public bool req;
[XmlRpcMissingMapping(MappingAction.Error)]
public string tag;
public string val;
}
In a php example on MailChimp's website, this is how merges
variable is declared:
$merge_vars = array('FNAME'=>'Test', 'LNAME'=>'Account', 'INTERESTS'=>'');
How to write this array correctly for my C# wrapper? I tried something like this:
MCMergeVar[] subMergeVars = new MCMergeVar[1];
subMergeVars["FNAME"] = "Test User";
But it requires an int
in place where "FNAME"
is now placed, so this doesn't work...
Thanks in advance, Ile
EDIT 1: I tried FoxFire's solution but no data from subMergeVars is passed to MailChimp server, only email is passed:
// Subscribe email to list
string subID = "26973e52cc";
string subEmail = "[email protected]";
MCMergeVar[] subMergeVars = new MCMergeVar[5];
subMergeVars[0].name = "FNAME";
subMergeVars[0].val = "FNDynamic";
subMergeVars[1].name = "LNAME";
subMergeVars[1].val = "LNDynamic";
mailChimp.api.listSubscribe(subID, subEmail, subMergeVars, "html");
