Any tokens to send out what Email Groups contacts are subscribed too?
April 19, 2013, 12:34:30 pm
I can include most all of contact information to a user in an email for them to verify their contact information on a yearly basis. However if I want them to see their subscribed Email Groups, I can only provide them with a link to edit their profile, I can't actually show them in the email that is sent out what they are subscribed to.

I find this interesting because when a new member signs up, it sends them a receipt that lists their initial choices for Email Groups, but after that, I can't find a way to send them this information when we want to.

Any ideas?

For the short/medium term, you can create a custom token that generates this information. Should not be too hard. There is a blog post by colemanw on how to write custom tokens

Not being a true developer it takes me a lot of time to study and practice to try and figure it out. I haven't had any time to even start the process. Its one of the things I wish they could make it easier to implement.
