H @frejaloppe!

I wanted to check in with you on this one, since we didn't hear back after our last message. Did you still need help here or were you able to resolve things? Please let us know :)

Hi @frejaloppe! Were you able to get to the bottom of why you were seeing the error message ‘Required field “Subscriber Email “ (contact_email) is missing.’

I do use Active Campaign and sometimes it doesn’t seem to like email addresses that are not all lower case and claims they are “missing”.  Given that not everyone has an email address that adheres to the standard of lowercase I add a Zapier step using the Formatter. In your case, I would add this step in after your first step from FB.  It may not solve the problem, but it’s a good step to add to any zap that requires input from another source that may not be case-sensitive around email addresses.

HTH

This is how to set up the Formatter for lower case

Hi @frejaloppe 

I’m not a user of Active Campaign myself, but is it possible that people receive a double opt in email they need to confirm before they are added to the list?

No worries @frejaloppe 

Can you show us some screenshots of what you’ve built so far and where you’re getting the error?
