How to handle unsubscribes from NMS dynamic recipient list?

Post by kmesd62 »

Hi
I am planning to use a dynamic recipient list in NMS using data extracted from FEU with a (as yet unwritten) UDT.

My question is: how could I handle 'unsubscribe' requests from the dynamic list? (Preferably with a single click/confirm)

I'm presuming the native NMS unsubscribe link wouldn't/couldn't work as it involves knowing where the dynamic data came from and would also mean updating another module's table(s).

I don't really want to require users to log in to feu to unset their subscription.

Are UDT's (e.g. in this case generating a custom feu unsubscribe link) allowed to update module tables or are they strictly read only? How could the link be made tamper-proof?

Some options I've discounted are:
* pre-import FEU data into NMS: how do I transfer NMS unsubscribes back into FEU?
* just using NMS: because list membership is closed I'd still need feu/custom content to restrict sign-ups. Also membership type determines the list you go on.

Are there any other options?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
