Creating newsletter subscriptions using URLs

You may want to provide your users with a central location where they can manage their CiviCRM subscriptions.

How to do it…

CiviCRM uses different URLs so that you can target some or all of your users' subscription services. You simply need to provide a link to this on your CMS user page.

1. civicrm/mailing/subscribe will provide a page to manage all group subscriptions.

2. civicrm/mailing/subscribe?reset=1&gid=N will provide a subscription link to a specific group where N is the group ID.

How it works…

Users have to be logged in to your website for these links to work. When they click on the links they are taken to a CiviCRM page where they can choose to subscribe or unsubscribe from groups set up as mailing lists.
