Question

My zap is giving an error about group value

I am trying to connect zapier to mailerlite.

I have a zap set up so that when a person signs up for a particular course (let’s call it digital party planner) they get added to a group in mailerlite (let’s call it zenler-digital party planner). However, when I set it up, I didn't put anything in the choose value section on zapier because I want it to choose the group based off the course in zenler. It therefore failed and said the group value was 0 and needed a number. How do I do it so that it picks the correct group in mailerlite based on the correct course in zenler?

Hi @akids 

The field likely expects the internal ID value rather than a Course Name.

@Troy Tessalone thank you for answering and please excuse my ignorance. I am trying to look through the dropbox integrations but that’s confusing me even more. I have to have a middle step with dropbox?

  1. zap where event is new sale
  2. mailerlite where event is create or update subscriber
  • action -I chose the subscriber group zenler 1. course name: Celebration Station: ( this is from the test data that I could choose from)
  • then under the group where it says choose value, I choose the Mailerlite group named Celebration station and that has a long number after it but it only inputs Celebration Station:
  • then I fill in the appropriate fields I want it to keep-like email, name, etc and hit continue

then I get the error 

Failed to create a subscriber in MailerLite

The app returned "The groups.0 field must be a number.".

Error indicates the Subscriber Groups field expects a number value to be passed.
