DESCRIPTION:¶ ↑

Automatically push/delete a model’s email address and custom-fields to a Campaign Monitor mailing lists when the model is created or destroyed.

NOTE: Version 1.0.0 introduces several significant syntax changes that will cause issues if your application is not updated. See below for details.

FEATURES:¶ ↑

• Push email addresses and custom fields to CM on create

• Delete email address from CM on destroy

SYNOPSIS:¶ ↑

Specify the model’s email address field name. You can also pass additional custom fields:

Class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  subscribe_me_using :email, :name => :full_name, :UserStatus => :get_status
end

This will submit the users ‘full_name` as `name` etc.

Set the list id & API key in ‘config/campaign_monitor_subscriber.yml`:

production:
  list_id: 12oeu0089oe8gf9794oe498587o5
  api_key: 23rbmoe351sd123d12134hbi1234

Campaign Monitor Subscrber will not activate for environments not specified in ‘config/campaign_monitor_subscriber.yaml`. The config file will recognise and interpret ERB.

You can use different lists across your application by specifying the list_id prefixed by the list name:

production:
  users_list_id: 12oeu0089oe8gf9794oe498587o5
  staff_list_id: oEZoeu0089oe8gf7oe123oeu234o
  api_key: 23rbmoe351sd123d12134hbi1234

Then be sure to specify the list’s name in the model as follows:

Class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  subscribe_me_using :email, :name => :full_name, :list => :users
end

Class Staff < ActiveRecord::Base
  subscribe_me_using :email, :name => :full_name, :list => staff
end

Thats it!

REQUIREMENTS:¶ ↑
