I recently set up a newsletter, and i want to take peoples email adresses using mailchimp api to collect them (as it seemed easy) so i followed the documentation ([Mailchimp - Bubble Docs](https://manual.bubble.io/core-resources/bubble-made-plugins/mailchimp)) I’ve setup the api key. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/5/9/59f627ddac24080acba2e9f6592310678daf139c.png) But i get the following error, and the links lead to nowhere Error connecting to Mailchimp: Invalid Resource - Your merge fields were invalid. - [https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/docs/errors/Error](https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/docs/errors/Error) connecting to Mailchimp: Invalid Resource - Your merge fields were invalid. - [https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/docs/errors/](https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/docs/errors/) - [{“field”:“ADDRESS”,“message”:“Please enter a complete address”}] I wanted to know if anyone knows about this bug ? ---

Honestly, I would recommend just using the API connector. The plugin might be outdated – in that case I’d recommend emailing [support@bubble.io](mailto:support@bubble.io) to ask about it
