Manage Subscribers
FlexCMS makes it easy for you to add and delete subscribers with just a click of your mouse! To manage your newsletter subscribers, click on the Manage Subscribers link under the Newsletter menu in your FlexCMS Control Panel. When you do, you will see the following:
Add Subscribers
To add subscribers, click on the Add Subscribers link (see above) and you will see the following:
Type the email address(es) in the Email Addresses To Add area. To add more than one email address at a time, simply type the next email address on a new line and repeat until you have entered all your email addresses.
Then select one of the following:
Ask For Confirmation: If you select this option, a confirmation email will be sent to all the email address(es) you have entered, before they are integrated into your subscription list. The confirmation email will require each addressee to follow instructions to approve or deny their email address be added to your subscription list.
Send Welcome Message: If you select this option, a welcome email will be sent to each email address(es) you are adding to your subscription list. This email also contains information on how to unsubscribe automagically from your newsletter subscription list at any time.
Do Nothing, Just Add Them To The List: If you select this option, all the email address(es) are added to your newsletter subscription list immediately. No emails are sent to the recipients to notify them.
Default Setting: Do Nothing, Just Add Them To the List.
When you have completed your email additions, simply click on the Add Subscribers button to submit your addresses and you'll see the following:
Delete Subscribers
To delete a subscriber, click on the Delete Subscribers (see above) link across from the email address you wish to delete. You will then receive the following message:
To proceed with this deletion, click on the Yes, Delete Subscriber button. Please note that this email address will be permanently removed from you subscription list immediately once you click on this button.
If you wish to cancel this action, click on your back browser button or any other link on your FlexCMS website.
Subscribers Awaiting Confirmation
If you have added a new subscriber manually and asked for a confirmation email to be sent to that person directly or someone has subscribed to your newsletter list, their email address will automagically display under the Subscribers Awaiting Confirmation area in your Newsletter Control Panel area (see below). There is nothing you need to do to confirm this email address, unless you have access to that specific email address and in which case you need to read the confirmation email sent and follow the instructions therein.
NOTE: Any newsletters you send will not be sent to those listed in the Subscribers Awaiting Confirmation area until they are confirmed. You may, if you so desire, manually delete a subscriber that is awaiting confirmation by clicking on the Delete link across from the email address awaiting confirmation. You may also delete any group of unconfirmed email addresses older than 30 days by clicking on the Delete Unconfirmed Addresses More Than 30 Days Old link.
