Subject: �List Management Question

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.
