Sign up form for multiple newsletters

Memberships & subscriptions

So, if I understand this correctly… when you have multiple newsletters under the same Ghost account, users must subscribe to the main newsletter to receive emails from the added newsletter?

Is there a way to create a stand-alone subscription form for a second newsletter?

Yep - Docs for that can be found here:

Thanks. So, just to be clear… without tweaking the code, there’s no way for folks to subscribe to a second newsletter?

Ah apologies, perhaps I misunderstood your question.

When a person signs up through the Portal modal, they’ll be able to choose the newsletters that they’d like to receive. If not going through the native portal (i.e. an input on the homepage), new signups will be added to whichever newsletter(s) are set to Subscribe new members on signup in each newsletters’ settings.

Alternatively, if they’re existing subscribers, you can send them here https://EXAMPLE.ghost.io/#/portal/account/newsletters to allow them to manage their preferences / sign up to a second newsletter.

Is it possible to make that link ( /#/portal/account/newsletters) be one of the options on the link drop-down for Buttons? I was looking for that URL earlier today and couldn’t figure it out. I tried navigating to that screen from another portal URL, so I could copy the URL, but the URL didn’t change to /#/portal/account/newsletters. It’d be nice if that was more transparent.

So, is there any other way than portal UI?
Here’s some issues we’re trying to work on:

  1. Is there a way to provide a custom UI to the users to select newsletters and provide email to subscribe?
  2. Is there no way for the existing users (not logged in) to use the same custom UI form?

Any info on this would be really appreciated!

Both of these are possible. Where are you stuck?

Is it possible when turned off the portal?
I cannot display the different newsletters in the signup-process. Of course, they can choose in their account, but it’s not a very smooth procedure to promote different newsletters.

I’m not quite sure I understand what you’re asking. If you turn off portal and are using a custom sign up form, then your custom form would need to provide the list of newsletters, too…

When I turn on portal, a popup comes up after signup to choose a newsletter.
When I turn it off, there is no popup. ok. But I miss a way, to provide the signup to multiple newsletters without this popup. I don’t know, how to handle it.
