Hi!

 

Is it possible to make an list of newsletter recipients from an external source?

 

My crap-site (non-dynamic-solution ;-) ) site has a long list of newsletter subscribers in xml-format, which is updated by third-party software - hence I can not move it.

 

However now I wish to send newsletters from Dynamicweb to these subscribers.

 

So has anyone got some clever solution? Or is a custom module the only way out?

Hi Martin

With the import/export module currently found in Dynamicweb, soon to be released as a stand alone module, you can do this.

In this module you can create a "pipeline" with different activities:

- download xml over http

- apply xslt

- send it to AccessUser table (this is where newsletter recipients can be found)

This activity can be executed everytime you need to synchronize the two.
