Hey, Thanks for posting. This works perfectly to add a subscriber. However if I want to update a member or change the status to unsubscribe.

I get the following error response: "[email protected] is already a list member. Use PUT to insert or update list members."

And I'm using the method "put" as in your script.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Really nice!
Wondering if I want to send a single email through mailchimp,... how can I add a subscriber to an automation with a dynamic text?

Like could you expand it with Transactional email in Mailchimp.

Hi! I'm writing one more time.

Your code works perfectly, but I am struggling to make it work for a onEdit instead of onFormSubmit.

Could you please assist?

Would really really appreciate it.
