Adding Members (Administrators)
add
The add command lets a list administrator add a member to their list. The syntax of the addcommand in its simplest form is:
add listname [sendconfirm] emailaddress [name] [quiet]
The sendconfirm, user name and quiet modifiers are optional. Here is an example:
add jazztalk bob@example.com Bob Smith
The add command without modifiers subscribes the member as a normal member and sends them the default
hello message. The administrator sending the command receives email notification if the command succeeded
or failed. To suppress this notification message, the admin may end the message with end quiet.
If you do not specify a user name, the user is created with no name in their member record.
If the list you are adding the user to is set to require passwords, one is created automatically
for that member. It is useful if you include the %%url.resetpassword%% tag in your hello message allowing
the recipient to reset the password.
Aurea List Manager does not resubscribe existing members, or change a membership status from unsub to
normal unless the subform modifier is used.
sendconfirm
The sendconfirm modifier subscribes the member in confirm status and sends a confirmation
message asking the member to confirm.
Example:
add jazztalk sendconfirm bob@example.com Bob Smith
quiet
The quiet modifier suppresses sending the new member the default hello message.
Example: add jazztalk bob@example.com Bob Smith quiet
This command adds the member without sending him the notification. The administrator sending the add
command still receives notification of the success or failure of the add command unless the message
ends with the end quiet command.
subform
Unless the subform modifer is used, the add command does not change the subscription status
of current members. The subform modifier adds members so their membership status is normal,
even if they were previously in the list in an inactive status.
For example: add jazztalk subform user1@example.com would change the status of user1@example.com from unsubscribed to normal.
