#3141 - Problem syncing Birthday

Closed Feature created by mailchimp 7 years ago

I think I've got syncing of the Birthday field setup correctly, I've tried to sync from Sugar to Mailchimp but the birthday field remains blank in MailChimp. I attach a shot of my setup, am I missing anything?

Thank you

    Hello there,

    The problem here is going to be that the integration does not support the birthday specific field in MailChimp. Sugar does not have an equivalent field type that works between the systems. What you can do, is change the birthday field type in MailChimp to a regular 'date' field type. Then the sync should work the way your expecting, as long as the birthday field in Sugar is a date type.

    Let me know if that works in your scenario.

    Thanks, Jon

    Hello again,

    Were you able to implement the updated birthday field for MailChimp? Does this solution work for you?

    Thanks, Jon
