I keep running into the following scenario and was wondering if anyone else has dealt with this yet

Organization has multiple lists They want to send out an email blast to all lists or select which lists to send to with one simple send instead of copying and sending a message to each list

I was handling this for one client by adding hidden user fields so they have 1 list That way when they send, they choose who to send it to with the filters They then have issues with manually adding new names It's a political campaign so they get names at events that need to be added manually

I guess you are referring to adding "hidden subscriber fields" and using the "Partial Sending Options" from Dada version 3? What kind of issues do they have by adding a subscribers manually? You mean they use the public subscribe form for adding a subscriber and not using the admin panel? If so, it should be easy to create a second, non-public subscribe form where the hidden fields are still shown and can be filled in

What I have thought about to handle this is to create a mapping table that identifies the lists a user belong to removing and removing the list name from the subscribers table This would also necessitate changes to the send and subscribe functions

First, has anyone else worked with this? Or has anyone else run into this?

Thanks in advance

Lennie
