"Quick Add" to a Mail List online

The limited profile patron feature can be used to allow patrons to do a "quick add" to a Mail List online using a quick submit form. This will allow them to be added to a Mail List without providing all the standard patron data normally required for a full log in. Instead, all that will be required is name, address and email.

The form is a standard part of the Theatre Manager web pages. Refer to mail list quick add feature. However: If you wish to place it on your main marketing site, please contact your web designer to implement this advanced web feature in an iframe or equivalent.

To use this feature:

• the mail list be visible on the internet.
• You must allow limited profile patrons to be added using mail lists
• If the patron's email address already exists within the database and the first and last name match, the existing patron will be added to the mail list.
• However, if the first and last name do not match, a limited patron will be created under the patron owning the emails address.
• Your Box Office staff will need to be vigilant about finding duplicate patrons by email address and merging then created this way.
• At minimum the form will need to collect three fields in order to subscribe the patron to the Mail List:
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Email Address
