Email list integration segmented by tag?

[Will]

Hi, we are completing a website (not yet live) that will have a community event calendar. We would like to use Events Calendar Pro and a couple of add-ons (filters and import).

We would also like to allow people to sign up for a weekly email including the upcoming events that meet their criteria (events will be tagged with various criteria, from which they could choose to be updated on only the types of events that interest them).

Do you know of anything I can integrate with your products to make this happen? Either a wordpress plugin or autoresponder app that will allow customized sending based on the event tagging in your plugin?

Thanks!
Will

Hey Will,

Thanks for reaching out. This is an interesting idea and it should be fairly simple to query for events of a certain tag, then include those in an email. (Check out this Knowledgebase guide for querying for events, for example → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/)

You would have to use custom coding, of course, which is outside the scope of support even for folks with a premium license (https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/what-support-is-provided-for-license-holders/). But it is possible.

When it comes to specific plugins or apps to enable this, there are many options and none that we specifically recommend or discourage. MailPoet is a popular WordPress-powered email app, but there are also great WordPress integrations available via MailChimp/Mandrill, Campaign Monitor, SendGrid, and more.

I hope this information helps you move forward with your project!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
