unsubscribe from different group
March 29, 2012, 01:42:14 pm
How does one devise a link  as an alternative to the {action.unsubscribeUrl} to remove contacts from a DIFFERENT group than the email was sent to.

Our case is this: we have a 'newsletter subscribers' group. But we regularly send our newsletter to only a subset of this, so I create a group 'newsletter subscribers-people' , for example, and send a bulk email to that group. After a few weeks, I remove or recreate this group. So I want people to unsubscribe to the master group 'newsletter subscribers'. But the link created by {action.unsubscribeUrl} removes the contact from the temporary group.

I thought I saw something on the forums? or the FLOSS manuals somewhere about this, but can't discover it now.

I dont think there is an automated/UI driven way to do this

is  'newsletter subscribers-people' a static group or is it a "smart group" from the 'newsletter subscribers'

For search based mailings, there is an option of stating which group to do the unsubscribe from. this option is not present for group based mailings

Ok, that makes sense now. I had seen the 'unsubscription group' option before, but rarely use search-based mailings- it didn't occur to me to look there.

I can accomplish what I requested with a workflow: do a search on the 'newsletter subscribers-people' group; and then use those results to generate a search-based mailing; and define the unsubscription group as the 'newsletter subscribers' group.

This is brilliant. Thanks for posting! I had no idea you could do that.
