Consolidate opt-in and activation messages?
April 26, 2010, 12:41:58 pm
Hi All,

I have a profile set up that includes checkboxes for groups (email lists). Visitors can subscribe to one or more groups. If someone subscribes to multiple groups via this profile form, the system sends them one opt-in message for each group selected, and then one activation notification for each group too. That can add up to a lot of emails...

Is it possible to consolidate these messages so that:

1. If I check more than one group I get only ONE opt-in notification that applies to all groups, and
2. Once I opt-in via the first email, I get only ONE activation notification

Possible?

Thanks!

Donald Lobo

it is possible via some code changes but not currently via the UI

It might require some creative thinking on how to best merge the mails etc, but definitely doable. I's estimate 10-30 hours at least. If u'd like to work on this ping us on IRC

Thank you for the quick reply. This is fairly low priority for us right now, but it seems like it would be a good addition to the system. We'll come back to it at a later time. --Chris
