Note: Name fields are mandatory, and you can’t add customize fields from the Airmeet side, whereas you can customize Mailchimp contact form fields.

Also, if you have removed the default fields from Airmeet, the same won't be visible, and you won't get the "+Add New Field" option.

Step 3: Click on the "Save" button to enable the integration and sync the registration data to the Mailchimp audience.

5. Points to Keep in Mind

• Before enabling this integration, participants registered for the Airmeet Event will not automatically be added to Mailchimp. Instead, you must export from Airmeet and upload those participants in Mailchimp.
• Sometimes MailChimp rejects an email id from untrusted domains and role-based emails, which can result in a mismatch in contacts added vs. registrations.
  eg, Invalid/blocked domain - "....@yopmail.com" gets blocked/rejected by MailChimp.

• Airmeet sends an email to participants on registration and another email when the event is about to start. If you wish to use Mailchimp to send emails to your participants, you can email support@airmeet.com to disable participant emails on registration and event reminders.

6. FAQs

1. Does the Airmeet and Mailchimp accounts need the same email ids? 
Is there a way to trigger a registration email automatically via Mailchimp if someone has registered for the event?

No, the Airmeet and Mailchimp accounts need not have the same email ids; the integration will work even if the Airmeet and Mailchimp accounts are registered with different email IDs.

There is no way to trigger a registration email automatically via Mailchimp if someone has registered for the event.

2. Once the direct access link is enabled, will the event joining links be shared to Mailchimp when event entry types 'Anyone can join without login' & 'Anyone can join after login' Event Entry types are selected? 

Once the event entry types 'Anyone can join without login' & 'Anyone can join after login' are selected and the Direct access link is enabled, the joining link or magic links will not be transferred to Mailchimp.

As only when event entry types 'Anyone can join via unique links' & 'Only invited participants can join' are selected will there be the Unique Magic links generated for every user. Only that unique link will be transferred.
