Comments: How can TntConnect 3.0 help me manage my paper and email newsletters?

Is there a way to change the Send Newsletter pick list option? I have to send out newsletters in English and German, email and paper. The English paper newsletter has to be in Letter and A4 format. I like to group the different recipients into groups for Mailchimp synchronization and pulling out csv lists.

Is there anyway to edit the Send Newsletter pick list?

Thanks

Sam

I'd recommend you use a user field to track language preference of your partners.  You can enable the syncing of user fields with MailChimp:  www.tntware.com/.../how-can-i-get-my-additional-mailchimp-fields-back-with-tntmpd-3-0.aspx  Then on MailChimp you can segment your mailings between English and German.  And for paper letters, you can do lookups/filters within TntMPD to lookup English paper newsletter recipients as well as German paper newsletter recipients.

When I'm importing contacts from a text file, what values are allowed to be imported into the Newsletter Media Preferences field? Strings like "Paper only"?

Thanks,

Lars

Hi Lars,  Great Question!  Currently, you have to import the internal code.  I'll have to fix this.  For now here's the key:

Paper (w/ email backup):  +P-E

Email (w/ paper backup):  +E-P

Paper Only:  +P

Email Only:  +E

Both: Paper and Email:  +P+E

IN the "Mass Change Field" command, when changing the "Send Newsletter" field, the only options are true and false as far as I can see. Is their another way to change that field to "Paper Only", for example?

You're looking for the "Newsletter Media Preference" field.
