I am trying to get notification if a mailchimp signup fails. I managed to get the send\_mailchimp\_error\_email function installed and can get an email, but I cannot figure out how to get the MC error message into my notification.  
I tried setting up a data array that includes the error message and pass that to the notification, but it isn[t working.  
How can I embed the error message in the notification?  
(I also notice the function documentation says a variable is “$error”, but in the function example it’s “$error\_message”, which was a little confusing.)

Hi John. I have done this for the Constant Contact Add-On. You can find the code I used here:

> **[Constant Contact Error Notification](https://d.pr/snqzTZ/)**

> Shared with Droplr

Update to reference `mailchimp` rather than `constantcontact` and you should be good to go. Let us know if you need anything else.

Thank you! I had it all, but couldn’t figure out how to form the data array. Thank you!
