I'm working on a project where we want to filter users from
our database based on postal code range and then send a newsletter to them. The
plan was to make an extension to the Umbraco back office where the filtering
could be done.
I looked at the Subscription Providers examples and it's
almost what we want, but I assume they can't be used with user input and they
are just meant to be static filtering options when sending the newsletter? Is
it possible to create custom mailing lists programmatically? As the mailing
lists we want to create need user input and a static filtering option in the
mailing lists dropdown menu when sending the newsletter doesn't quite fit the
case.
You could make the different zipcode-lists as a custom table and talk to that table in your SubsciptionProvider but you can also create mailing lists using the mailinglist repository - depending on what version of Newsletter Studio you are planning to use?
