Setup SurfaceController for Newsletter Subscription

Open TimGeyssens opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

Need to handle the newsletter subscriptions...

Do we want to maintain the newsletter list as a real newsletter list? Or shall we just create a node in the site and add content to that, perhaps with comments in the controller to where the user can swap out for another email newsletter provider?

Preferences?

I can take this one

Would log to db table... maybe simple event model to hook in newsletter providers like mailchimp...

To view the entries... maybe a content app? But will set that up as a seperate task

OK- good opportunity to build a custom dashboard too potentially to export those. I'll take a stab as this too

Would you prefer if I pushed changes direct to the repo or through a PR?

Hey @CarlSargunar if you want to earn hacktober fest credits a PR is the way to go :)

good thinking! there are pretty easy ways to handle that... check https://github.com/TimGeyssens/UIOMatic-Addons-Export/blob/master/src/UIOMaticAddons.Export/Controllers/ExportController.cs using a third party tool called CsvHelper
