Hello,
I represent a federation who give me a list of subscribers each month, I would like to know if it’s possible to insert the list to compare with existing subscribers. I naturaly use the import/export plug-in.
I resume : each month I insert A new list of subscribers, which can be composed by new subscribers, existing subscribers, only. But if old subscribers are not in the new list, they are not deleted from the newsletter plug-in. I would like they be deleted automaticaly as mirror. Is it today possible ?Hello,
yes of course, a new import won’t delete old subscribers if they are not present in the import file: they will be left untouched. If you need to delete them, you can delete all subscribers before a new import.

Here comes the real problem, by deleting all the subscribers, existants cannot follow the links in the older newsletters, and that’s why my wish is to automaticaly compare lists to delete only subscribers who doesn’t appear in the new list.
I know, because I stopped to use the plug-in to buy yours (which is better in many points), Mailpoet does it.No, it’s not possible: you can set all the subscribers as “not confirmed”, from the subscribers/Maintenance page, import the new ones as “confirmed” (already present subscribers will be updated). Then all the not confirmed subscribers are the old ones.
You can keep them, so next time you import a new list, if a subscriber was unconfirmed from a previous import and now it reappears, you avoid the deletion and recreation.
Unconfirmed subscribers do not receive the newsletters.
