MailChimp Net V3 - Merge Fields and Address object. C#-CodePudding

I'm using MailChimp.Net.V3 and I would like to know how to send an address to MailChimp API. I'm using C# and ASP.NET.

I've followed instructions from MailChimp.Net.V3 on adding a new contact with merge fields: https://github.com/brandonseydel/MailChimp.Net

See example code from MailChimp GitHub page. It doesn't show how to send the address via the merge fields.

var listId = "TestListId";

// Use the Status property if updating an existing member
var member = new Member { EmailAddress = $"[email protected]", StatusIfNew = Status.Subscribed };
member.MergeFields.Add("FNAME", "HOLY");
member.MergeFields.Add("LNAME", "COW");
await this.mailChimpManager.Members.AddOrUpdateAsync(listId, member);

I know from the MailChimp documentation that those Address fields exist. From the API documentation, the Address is an object type. https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/docs/merge-fields/

addr1
addr2
city
country
state
zip

I've tried plain text and JSON format. This is what I've tried.

member.MergeFields.Add("ADDRESS", "123 Freddie Ave");

member.MergeFields.Add("ADDRESS", "{ addr1: \"123 Freddie Ave\",city: \"Atlanta\",state: \"GA\",zip: \"12345\"}");

member.MergeFields.Add("ADDR1", "123 Freddie Ave");

member.MergeFields.Add("ADDRESS:ADDR1", "123 Freddie Ave");

member.MergeFields.Add("CITY", "Atlanta");

Every time I send a contact to the API via MailChimp.Net.V3, the Address field is blank.

Can you please help me to find the correct format for sending an address?

CodePudding user response：

Actually, the JSON string you tried was formatted incorrectly

According to this

this should work:

member.MergeFields.Add("ADDRESS","{\"addr1\":\"123 Freddie Ave\",\"addr2\":\"secondline\",\"city\":\"Atlanta\",\"state\":\"GA\",\"zip\":\"12345\",\"country\":\"USA\"}");
