Added extra profile fields but what next?

[brian07002]

Hi,

I have added 1 extra profile field so when I create or send a new newsletter I can send only to those users with that profile set. Am I thinking this out correctly? The extra profile I created is set as a list, yes or no, it shows on the widget, newsletter page and profile pages. Here is where I am stuck..

I want to choose who will receive the newsletter with this extra profile set. How can I send the newsletter to only those who have this extra profile or if I decide to use preference set? I have looked at the who will receive it option under newsletter link but there is nothing there that tells me about the extra profile I set. How do I proceed from here.

End result: I only want to send this newsletter to subscribers who have this extra profile field or preference set as opposed to everyone on the subscribers list.

Thank you in advance!
Brian

Hi, you can target by preferences, extra profile are only used to store textual data.

Hi,

I have replied to your other message regarding preferences, which I understand, but how can I view the textual data from the extra profile, as in your above messaage? Oh, now that it just came to me, I would just edit the users profile to view that extra data correct? Is that searchable somewhere in case I want to search for all user who…You get the idea…Sorry for such basic questions.

Thank you
Brian

Hi Brian, no, actually that data is not searchable.
