Question

Clio Manage → Zapier → Mailchimp: Step 3 shows data, but Mailchimp contact is not updating

Hello Zapier Community!

I am trying to update client contact information from Clio Manage into Mailchimp using Zapier.

My Zap setup is:

  1. Clio Manage – New Contact
  2. Clio Manage – Find Person by ID
  3. Mailchimp – Create/Update Subscriber

The issue is that the data appears correctly throughout Zapier. In Step 3 (Mailchimp Create/Update Subscriber), I can see the contact information being sent, including fields such as name, address, phone number, and birthday.

However, when I check the contact record in Mailchimp after the Zap runs, the information is not updated or does not appear.

My Mailchimp audience fields and merge tags are set up:

  • FNAME
  • LNAME
  • ADDRESS
  • PHONE
  • BIRTHDAY

The Zap run shows success, but Mailchimp does not reflect the updated information.

Questions:

  1. Is there a Mailchimp setting that prevents Create/Update Subscriber from updating existing contacts?
  2. Do I need to map the Mailchimp merge fields in a specific way?
  3. Is there a difference between updating a subscriber and updating contact profile fields in Mailchimp through Zapier?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi ​@mas123 

For us to have true context, post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in the CONFIGURE tab while in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible.
