How to move a subscriber from one list to another with automation

donnajobsltd

Hi,
I have a list of subscribers to Mailing List A but they are NOT registered on my Joomla website.

When they register on my Joomla Website I want an Automation that move them from List A to List B but I cannot do it, or better I didn't find the right trigger and configuration.

can you help me with this task?

Thanks
Nancy

Hi,

To achive this you need to enable the Joomla Integration. You'll find it in Acymailing->Configuration->Subscription and it's documented here: https://docs.acymailing.com/setup/configuration/subscription#user-integration

Configure the integration to automaticly subscribe your users to your List B. Once enabled each new Joomla user will automaticly be added to your Acymailing and subscribed to List B.

Next, you want to make sure all your existing Joomla users are present in Acymailing and subscribed to List B. Go to Acymailing->Subscribers and click on the import button. Choose the option to import your Joomla users and subscribe them to your List B. You need to do this only once.

To remove your Joomla users from List A you have to run a Mass Action and setup an Automation:

First you want to make sure that all Joomla users you've imported and subscribed to List B will be removed from List A. This is a one time acvtion. Mass Actions are part of the Automations.

After you have imported your Joomla users and subscribed them to List B you need to remove them from List A. This can be achieved with a Mass Action, which is part of the Automations. You only need to do this once.

Mass Action:
Action:: Remove users from List A
Action Targets: Users subscribed to List B

Now you want to make sure new Joomla users will be removed from List A. This can be done automaticly with an Automation.

Trigger: Trigger based on user actions -> When the user subscribes

Conditions: Execute conditions on the subscriber triggering the automation
Set a condition on lists -> Subscribed to List B and set a relative time in the past

Actions: Remove user from List A

Action Targets: Execute conditions on the subscriber triggering the automation

Thanks for your reply, but I explained myself poorly.
What I want to do is:
1) I have a list A with users subscribed to the newsletter but not to Joomla.
2) when some user who is registered on list A also registers themself on joomla they must be deleted from list A and placed on list B automatically, but only if they previously belonged to list A.

Other users who have never been in the A list also sign up to joomla and those must NOT go into the B list

Can I achieve this?
If yes, how?

Thanks

Hi,

To accomplish this you need to use a temporary list.

Set the Joomla Integration to automaticly subscribe the user to your temp list.

From here you need two Automations. Both need to be triggered when the user subscribes.

First Automation:

Condition
Set a condition that checks if the user is subscribed to the temp list (set a relatiive time 5 minutes in the past) AND List A (no relative time)

Action
Subscribe the user to List B AND unsubscribe the user from List A AND remove the user from your temp list

Second Automation:

Condition
Set a condition that checks if the user is subscribed to the temp list (set a relatiive time 5 minutes in the past) AND has No subscription status for List A

Action
Remove the user from your temp list

Oh so cool, it works!
The last thing that I would like to achieve is that when a user is added by automation to list B, an email is added to the queue.it is possible?

thanks

Sure, just add another action to your Automation.

Subscribe the user to List B AND unsubscribe the user from List A AND remove the user from your temp list AND Add an email to the queue

Please note that the email is not send immediately. The email will be added to the queue and will be send as soon as your cron is triggered
