Appreciate all you are doing to keep FTH up to date and compliant with the myriad rules and regulations.

One thing that occurs to me is that if a Prospect doesn't have an email address there is little point in generating an email that won't go anywhere

.

Cheers
Kingsley


Hmmm... Good point. Any ideas on how to deal with this? Perhaps I could route the opt-in email to the admin email address for those special cases?

Sounds like a plan, so long as the admin is not getting a copy all opt-in emails sent out.

Does this change mean that the WELCOME email function is no longer needed / available?

Currently, the admin would get the response back from the person added, but I plan to enable that to be changed... I just have not figured out where in the Admin Console to locate the setting for setting the recipent(s) of the notifications back from the person who opted in.

You still have the Welcome email available. However, I had been thinking of phasing it out in favor of everyone just using an email template w/ Send Basic Email. You would still have variables, but it could look nicer since it would not need to be just a plain text email.

Another possibility is somehow combining the Welcome Email w/ the Opt-in email.

There is certainly room for discussion on this.

I appreciate your efforts, however I don't fully agree with your approach.

The current method before the opt in method was added, is compatible with the Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation with Implicit consent.
i.e. emails are added to the Friends, prospect, past member and members list only after they have been given to us by the visitor. The FTH system already has an unsubscribe feature which has already been used successfully by some of our visitors.

At the very least, if the changes are inevitable, I think that the following cmodifications should be implemented:
1) The opt in message should de-techied a bit. >> There is a segment of the population who may not respond positively
2) The 30 day time limit on opting in should have a reminder step added in. Perhaps the two weeks time point might be a good interval. >> Some of need a reminder . . .they just do.

We have to serve the world and the new requirements of the GDPR has a much higher level of requirements. You will seeing all multi-national companies adopting these requirements. We are doing what is required for the May 25 deadline and will add additional functionality as time permits.
