Automation 'import Subscribers from joomla database'

Rodenburg

Is there a way to automate Subscribers imports (from joomla database)?
I found out that new joomla users are not always also in the Subscribers list. With the automation i only can subscribe Subscribers and NOT joomla users to the weekly newsletter.

Hi,

You need to import your Joomla users in Acymailing->Users->Import->Joomla users. This is a one-time action.

Once done you need to enable the Joomla user integration in Acymailing->Configuration->Subscription and make sure that your users are automaticly subscribed to your nesletter when they create an account on your site.

It's documented here: https://docs.acymailing.com/setup/configuration/subscription#user-integration

That works with a simple installation:
I use community builder, a SSO plugin which creates accounts and a syncuser script with active directory which (create deactivate and updates users) .

Is there an url i can call to start the sync with a cronjob or something?

Hi,

I guess you already have the Community Builder add-on in place? https://docs.acymailing.com/addons/joomla-add-ons/community-builder

Did you take a look at the Universal Filter add-on? It might offer the features you're looking for. It's documented here: https://docs.acymailing.com/addons/all-cms-add-ons/universal-filter

In case this info doesn't help you I suggest to raise a support ticket (https://www.acymailing.com/support/) for further assistance.

Great idea, looks like the 'Universal filter' can do more then just filtering. 😁

current setup:
Actions
The subscribers selected by this automation
Will be activated

Actions targets
This automation will be applied to all AcyMailing users
Imported from the source you specified

You're welcome, enjoy your Acymailing!

additional: is there a way to have multiple where `s at the 'import from database' currently there is only one where possible. Option to write own where clause would also be fine.

Did you try to use the AND and OR options? (Add filter = AND)

It`s unclear to me how the add filter, which results in an 'AND', would have effect on import. Seems to me it is only an option to add additional targets, not to finetune the selection of a previous target selection action.
