We need to communicate with our supporting members. To do that we need a way to send them emails. The communication includes quarterly newsletters, AGM invites, annual reports, etc.
Requirements:
| Status | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T16325 Migrate supporting memberships from CiviCRM to Donorbox | ||
| Resolved | bcooksley | T16328 Set up infrastructure to send emails to supporting members in Donorbox |
Do we have anyone who can help with this? We need to send the next quarterly email to the members soon and need some infrastructure to make this happen.
Are we able to get a CSV of people and their email addresses out of Donorbox that have ticked a box to receive quarterly updates?
If so, then feeding that into Mailman should be straight forward.
Hmm, I thought Donorbox had functionality to record that - https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/ask-donor-subscribe-mailing-list?
Argh. I thought that was only available in Donorbox Pro. And of course we hadn't enabled it...
Thanks for digging this up. I've now enabled it for the membership campaign.
Problem solved going forward I guess, but what do we do about those who are already members?
Sorry for some reason I didn't get an email for your previous comment...
I think for now we leave them out and I'll think some more about how we can get them in later.
This has now been provisioned.
Please commit updated exports from Donorbox to https://invent.kde.org/teams/kde-ev-fundraising/donorbox-data
Access to that repository is only available to members of the KDE e.V. Fundraising Working Group (so if it gives you a 404 that is because you don't have access to the private repository).
They will subsequently be automatically processed overnight (Midnight UTC to be precise) and used to populate the membership of https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-ev-supporters
If people wish to unsubscribe that should be done by updating their settings within Donorbox - they will then be unsubscribed on the next processing run once a fresh export is made.
