This module was written to extend the functionality of the website popup newsletter subscription form to support sending to new subscribers an automatic welcome email and allow you to customize it.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0

Lets you pick a welcome email template on each mailing list, so new subscribers who sign up from the website automatically receive that email.

This module adds an automatic welcome email to the website newsletter sign-up form. On every mailing list you now get a new field called "Welcome mail template" where you can choose which email should be sent to people who subscribe from the website.

  • The field appears on the mailing list form, right under the list title.
  • A ready-made email template named "Welcome mail to newsletter subscribers" is included, with a subject like "Welcome to the mailing list ..." and a short thank-you message. You can edit it or create your own and select it on the list.
  • When someone subscribes through the website popup, the system looks up the contact, and if the list has a welcome template set, the email is sent immediately. If no template is chosen, nothing extra happens.
  • Contacts who opted out or are blacklisted are skipped, so they do not receive the welcome email.

The module works together with the website newsletter subscription feature and touches the mailing list and mailing contact records (mail.mass_mailing.list, mail.mass_mailing.contact) plus the email template model (mail.template).

Configuration

Source · Odoo 12.0

To configure this module, you need to:

  • Go to Email Marketing > Mailing Lists > Mailing Lists.
  • Edit or create one.
  • Set a Welcome mail template to enable this module's special behavior when somebody subscribes to this mailing list. You can use one shipped with this module, called Welcome mail to newsletter subscribers, as a starting point.
  • You can also customize this template as you prefer.

To be used, you also must make sure a subscription snippet for this list exists somewhere in your website:

  • Go to your website.
  • Navigate to a page where you want to include the subscription widget.
  • Edit the webpage.
  • Drag and drop any Structure or Features block you like.
  • Drag and drop the Inner content > Newsletter block inside it.
  • Choose the same mailing list you configured above.

Of course, outgoing mail must be properly configured in your instance, or emails will never be sent.

Usage

Source · Odoo 12.0

After you have followed the configuration instructions:

  • Enter as an anonymous user (you can use a browser private window for that).
  • Navigate to the page where the newsletter subscription snippet is found.
  • Enter your email.
  • Hit Subscribe.
  • Check your inbox, you have new mail!
