Documentation on using Devart MailChimp Destination component

I have no problems using this component for Insert operations, but how do I use it for Update?
I have a SQL Server view containing a list of Contacts that are currently subscribed to various Lists that I want to Unsubscribe.
I tried using a Data Flow component with by view as the OLE DB Source and connected to the Devart MailChimp Destination component with the Action set to Update. When I click on Column Mappings on the Advanced Editor I get "Error at {Destination}: The name of the crm object is not specified". {Destination} is my component name.
What does the error mean? I couldn't find any documentation on SSIS Components.

Please open Advanced Editor for Devart MailChimp Destination, navigate to the Component Properties tab, and set the ObjectName property. This should fix the error.

Thank you for your help.
The documentation on the Update Action is a bit sparse.
I want to update the ListMembers Status column to "Unsubscribed". So I have a column called NewStatus in my Input as well as the Id of the ListMembers table. In my mapping I have joined the Input and Output ID columns, and joined my input NewStatus with the Output Status.
Does that sound correct or am I missing something? I don't want to accidentally unsubscribe the wrong Members as there is no easy way to reverse this in MailChimp.

Column 'STATUS' is updatable via API v3. Please add "api version=v3;" to your connection string.

My connection string already has "API Version=v3".
Are you able to answer my question: "Does that sound correct or am I missing something?"

That sounds correct.
