SugarChimp

Hi Chris,

Thanks for reaching out. Can you tell me if you recently deleted a Target List in Sugar or mass removed records?

Can you check a record that's been unsubscribed via admin action in Mailchimp and see if that record still appears on a Target List in Sugar and if they are showing as subscribed?

Thanks for your help in troubleshooting.

Best, Heidi

Hi there

Thanks for the reply. The response from my client is below.

================================== This was more than 12 months ago so I have no clear memory but certainly could have deleted a Target List at the time as I was still learning how to use it properly.

Yes they are still showing in the Target List in Sugar, they look like they are “Subscribed” though not sure how you tell.

See below the Target List Header, I note the date and time created is the same date and about 10 minutes earlier than the date and time that all the records in Mail Chimp are showing as their “unsubscribed” date.

Mailchimp actually lets me “Subscribe” these contacts that are showing as Unsubscribed so I could do this manually.

======================

In checking out an example they show in the target list but if you Edit the contact you can see it is unsubscribed.

I guess we need to know if we can change these in bulk? I suspect what caused this was a target list deleted? Or is it something else?

Thanks for this insight, Chris. For reference, there are a few ways a record can display as "Unsubscribed via admin action" in Mailchimp:

• Marking a record as opted out in Sugar
• Removing a record from the Target List in Sugar
• Deleting a Target List in Sugar

It sounds like a Target List may have been deleted at some point or a mass update completed, and that may have caused the unsubscribes you're seeing now. If we haven't seen issues since then, we should be safe to resubscribe these users. We can resubscribe in bulk. If you'll send me the emails that need to be resubscribed, I can send instructions so that can be resubscribed in Sugar, which will then resubscribe them in Mailchimp if they're on a synced list. Feel free to send that list to mailchimp@fanaticallabs.com so it's private.

Thanks! Heidi

Just wanted to follow up here. I've sent instructions for resubscribing these records through email.

To prevent this from happening in the future, you can first remove the sync for the lists and then delete as desired. To remove a sync, you can navigate to the Health Status page and click Remove Sync on the left side, as shown here: https://d.pr/free/i/t3LfcS.

Let me know if you have any trouble with the instructions I sent over or if you want to schedule some time to walk through it together!

Best, Heidi

Hi there,

I will need to re-open this. We followed the unsubscribe process. In SugarCRM they are fine - in MailChimp they are unsubscribed. I will need you to look at this and see what you can suggest.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for this insight. Can you try queuing a re-sync from Sugar to Mailchimp from the Health Status page? If that doesn't work, please feel free to schedule a time for us to chat using the link below:
