Email Subscriptions
In February 2025, Campaign Monitor emailing was removed and replaced with sending through the Reo Māori Nationbuilder nation.
#Email Subscription custom fields
Email subscriptions to specific lists are recorded by custom fields.
The custom fields should always begin with email_subscription__
The current Reo mailing lists are:
- email_subscription__our_news
- email_subscription__resource_radar
- email_subscription__te_wiki_updates
- email_subscription__he_muka
When a new user signs up they are shown a custom email_opt_in checkbox.
The above email list custom fields are in the form hidden. If the user signs up with this checked, then the above custom fields are also checked.
Addiitonally there are Te Taura Whiri (Corporate) mailing lists managed here as well:
- email_subscription__corporate_translators
- email_subscription__corporate_lfe_eoi
Reo Māori Account Settings
The email preferences in the account settings page was replaced with these custom field checkboxes.
Additionally, on submit, if the user has unsubscribed to all custom field lists OR subscribed to any new lists, then an API script runs to update the users email_opt_in state via the API (this is the only way this field can be changed).
Email Settings page
https://www.reomaori.co.nz/email-settings
This is a seperate sign up page to allow sorta-signed-in users to update their settings via an unsubscribe link in their email.
The user clicks on email link, the user is auto logged in, and can update subscription custom fields.
Emails sent should include a custom unsubscribe link to this page that includes the users email address as a parameter so they can be auto logged into the Reo Māori site.
Note the same API call is made to update the users email_opt_in state if they unsubscribe from all lists (or resubscribe).
Interest Custom Fields
In the Reo site there are also “interest” custom fields:
- email_custom_field__organisation_type__school
- email_custom_field__organisation_type__workplace
- email_custom_field__organisation_type__group
These are not related to subscription custom fields.
They are automatically set if the user creates a new group of that type (School/Workplace/Group)
They are shown below the email preferences in the account settings and email settings pages.
