Needing a component for mass mailing

Allon Prooit Posted in Component Development 4 years ago

Can anyone come up with a component to fetch email addresses for all users out of the database? This shouldnt be too difficult. Perhaps someone already has one? Willing to pay good money to have one developed. Doesnt necessarily have to be a "component" for OSSN. Could just be a script for snagging all the email addresses. Ideally though it would not only grab the addresses but parse them into a template for mass mailing and facilitate such. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks!

Sure, I think that would work, just send me an email and we can figure it out.

Thanks! Will be in touch. Thinking you could probably take the export users to csv component and make it work for that. The component gives me a good list but I just want the emails and a script that will put them into a message for all my members. Guessing I could use a mailing list program to do all that once I have a good list to work with. Probably the easiest route.

Feel free to also contact me if you still need help, I've done this multiple times. You can go the route of exporting to CSV if you want, but it'd be much simpler imo to just write a standalone php script that connects to your db, grabs all the emails, and sends out your message (or puts them into a template if you want to save them for later - maybe a csv would be useful in that case, depends on your needs I suppose).

Ok, thanks Arsalan. I forgot about that component. Will check it out to see if it will suffice.
