Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a "newsletter signup" form using Campaigner?

If you simply want to provide a "sign-up for our newsletter" form, you don't need an add-on. Just use a standard Campaign Monitor sign-up form, and you're done.

Can Campaigner handle "multi-option" trigger fields?

One of Campaigner's most-used features is the ability to set a "trigger" for each mailing list. A trigger is simply a condition which states "member field X must contain value Y". If this condition is met, the member is subscribed to the associated Campaign Monitor mailing list.

For example, you may decide that you�re only interested in members who select "Blue" in answer to the question "What is your favourite colour?".

In this case Campaigner will check the m_favorite_color custom member field (or whatever you�ve called it) for the string "Blue". All pretty simple stuff.

But what if the question is "What are your preferred colour(s)?", and the member has the option of choosing from a series of checkboxes?

This presents Campaigner with a real problem. If the member selects more than one colour the "trigger" condition will fail, even if one of the selected values is "Blue".

The Campaigner Multi-Select extension solves this problem. Just download, install, and activate Campaigner Multi-Select, and Campaigner will automatically handle triggers on member fields containing multiple values, no additional configuration required. Single value trigger fields are unaffected.
