Newsletter Integration
Grant Ferguson
I like managing all email distribution through MailerLite, segmenting by sign-up source and interest, but only after an opt-in that made it clear they were being added to an email list. The integration with the API would make this so simple. Also, the automation features at MailerLite would make follow-up and on-boarding a snap. Thanks for considering this update.

I feel email semgmentation is missing, unless I haven't worked out how to do it. For example I send a monthly newsletter but i'd like to send a different newsletter to my followers who aren't members. Also I plan on closing membership and opening a waiting list, and was thinking of doing the waiting list as an extra... I would want specific emails to be sent to those on the waiting list only.. Platforms such as mailchimp offer this segmentation.

Kerrie Hoffman: a lot of segmentation is missing. I even added a new Feature request regarding segmentation for payment gateways

BMC's own Messaging feature lets you email your supporters and members. Are we missing any features?
We're soon going to add email stats and other improvements to the Messaging functionality.

Jijo Sunny: would be great if there is a way to let people opt in or out of communications when they purchase/ download something or support

Ross Farley: Noted. The follow/unfollow feature is intended to work that way and we're including an unsubscribe link below every email.

Jijo Sunny: I'm guessing a lot of the people coming to my BMC to download extras are new to the site and might not understand they are potentially being added to an email list. It wouldn't be clear to me that that was the case. I'm quite hesitant to use the built in messaging feature for that reason. I'd much prefer they actively opted to be contacted

Ross Farley: Got it. Makes total sense. Let me take this to the team. Thanks for the feedback, Ross.

Jijo Sunny: Posts feature is very good, but instead of posts please add feature like newsletter for followers, supporters and members. Of course we can send email to our followers, supporters and members but it would be great if we can do it with out publishing it as a post. I hope you understand my point because idk if I'm clear or not :)
