My zaps keep failing and I don’t understand why (utter beginner here). 

I’m trying to get mailchimp to send the same email to an audience each week. 

Here is what the zap looks like.

Is it missing anything obvious? 

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Could you please send the error message you are receiving and also a screenshot of your Zaps criteria, and we will ensure that this works for you, most likely this is due to one of the fields missing a criteria or this hasn’t passed the test stage, but please provide an image and we can pinpoint this for you.


Hi @Unorthodox Nutrition 

For us to have more info, post these screenshots:


Hi @Unorthodox Nutrition,

 

Just to advise, when posting a screenshot to the Community, it is essential to obscure any sensitive information within the screenshot for security purposes. Thank you. We're looking forward to troubleshooting your issue further.


Hi there,

Sorry about the delay, I have been away. 

 

Here are the screen shots of the Zap. I want this to be sent every week, to the same people, with the same content (I will add the tag in mailchimp over time). 

 


@Unorthodox Nutrition 

In Zap step 3, you need to map the ID variable from Zap step 2 for the Campaign field.

Use the h...] button to switch to “Custom” mode, then use the s+] button to map the variable.

 


Hi ​@Unorthodox Nutrition,

Just giving a quick nudge here. Have you followed Troy’s latest suggestion?

Please do let us know if you’re still in need of some help on this at all - happy to assist further! 🤗


Sorry what is the ‘ID variable’ please?

I’m a total beginner here :(


Hi ​@Unorthodox Nutrition,

You’d need to map the Campaign ID from the 2nd step to the “Campaign” field of the “Send Campaign” step as a custom value. You can learn more about mapping custom value here: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496241696141-Add-custom-values-to-modal-fields-in-Zaps#01H7FR09FB7ARYVVE14MD4R0QJ

Kindly give it a try and let me know how it goes? I'll keep an eye out for your response!
