Hi all!

Newbie here, firstly a hello to you all

I use mailchimp on a freeuse account for a small car club that I run here in the UK

Only have around 150-200 subscribers to our email campaigns so never been any need to upgrade to pro etc.

This week the google drive integration seems to have stopped working,

I update my subscriber list monthly from a google sheet within my google drive.

I've connected to the google drive successfully and re-connected again, however when i choose import from integrated services it does not show any of my google sheets any more

It says it has successfully connected to my google drive but there are no sheets within the drop down box to select the data source

Anyone else having issues? I've tried on Chrome & Firefox but no success

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Will.

    This is exactly what's happening to me as well! I have no clue why this is happening. Have you found a solution yet?

    No quick solution yet!

    It is not only Mailchimp that are having this problem, but other providers too (I tried Benchmark too who are having the same problem)

    I think it is something Google have changed and all companies are trying to catch up to get it working again

    My "Work Around" was to export the information I needed as a CSV file from the google sheet and import it that way into Mailchimp

      Thanks for your insight! The problem with using a CSV file for my case is that I deal with a lot of international contacts which contain special characters. Any methods other than Google Drive integration seem to transfer special characters well.

      If the issue involves Google's latest update then it is a bigger problem.. Sigh...

      Do you, by any chance, have an article or a source of clue that you can share, indicating that it has to do with Google's change?

    I dont have any info/articles available

    Only what Benchmark customer support told me, that there was an issue with Google update and that their integration is not working for the foreseeable future

      That sucks. Thank you, though - at least I know now that I am not stupid or crazy!
