Subscriber import and export

 

Importing subscribers

 

If you already have a list of subscribers, you can easily import them using the CMS Desk -> Tools -> Newsletters -> Import subscribers dialog.

 

You need to prepare the list of subscribers in the following format:

 

email;firstname;lastname

 

- one on every line.

 

The following examples are all valid:

 

 

david@scott.com;David;Scott

marry@blue.com;;Jones

frank@web.com;Frank

monica@italy.com

 

 

You can also subscribe the newly imported addresses to chosen newsletters and if the users subscribed to these newsletters should receive an e-mail confirming their subscription.

 

Click OK to import the subscribers. If one of the lines contains an invalid entry, the import is not processes for any of the records and an error is displayed. If a subscriber e-mail address already exists, the first name and last name are updated instead of creating a new subscriber.

 

 

Exporting subscribers

 

If you need to export the list of subscribers to some other application, you can export them using the CMS Desk -> Tools -> Newsletters -> Export subscribers dialog.

 

You can choose if you want to export all subscribers (do not specify any newsletter) or only subscribers of chosen newsletter(s). The subscribers are exported in format:

 

email;firstname;lastname

 

Then, you can copy and paste the list of subscribers from the textbox to your application.
