Newsletter#

Bulk emails to subscribers. Find it under Sdílené moduly → Newsletter.

Two parts#

Part	What it is
Addresses	who wants the newsletter
Newsletters	what goes out and when

Addresses#

Field	Note
E-mail	once only; the system does not allow duplicates
Language	which language they want to be written to in
Activated	did they confirm the subscription via the activation email link?
Activation key	from the confirmation link
Created	when they subscribed

Do not mail unactivated addresses

An unconfirmed address means nobody has demonstrated consent — anyone could have entered it. Mailing it is a problem, not merely bad manners.

Do not add addresses obtained elsewhere

A list from business cards, from orders, or bought is not consent to a newsletter. The form on the site exists precisely so that consent is demonstrable.

Unsubscribing#

A self-service unsubscribe link in the email footer does not exist yet — there is no handler in the code that would process one. The only way to unsubscribe an address is to turn its Activated off by hand in the administration.

Without an unsubscribe link, handle requests by hand

If someone writes asking to unsubscribe, find their address and turn off Activated yourself — nothing does it for you through email.

Field	Note
Subject and text	per language
Status	Stopped, Paused, Executing, Done
All addresses	or only selected ones
Sent at

Sending#

Switching the status does not send anything by itself

The status is, for now, just a descriptive field — nothing in the administration reads it to automatically mail the saved addresses, and the newsletter does not run through the email queue or any scheduled job either. Switching it to "Executing" or "Done" does not send anyone anything yet.

Languages#

A subscriber carries a language and gets that version. If their language version is missing, they get the default.

Do not forget the second language

The text for the second language is easy to overlook. Go through both versions before sending.
