New Subscriber notification

Site URL: https://www.unionoflondon.com/

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to receive a notification email when I get a new subscriber.

I'll email a discount code to the new subscriber, so the quicker I can react to their subscription, the better.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Mark

Same.

Hey everyone, 

If you are referring to subscribers to a Email Campaigns mailing list, you may want to create an automation for that. Here's a great Squarespace help article that covers that setup in more detail:

Sending automated campaigns

What if I don't want an automated response to the subscriber, but simply an alert (to myself) that I had a new subscriber?

This would be a good feature.  I'm already using automation to send people a link to a giveaway, but I'd also like to be able to send a customized email to thank people for subscribing if it's someone I know.

Okay this takes it of SS, which is not ideal, but it will accomplish your goals I think, but wil require that you are using Google Analytics and that you have a confirmation page when there is a subscription completed.

Assuming yes then here is what you would do:

1. Set a Goal in Google Analytics, such  the destination page that matches the URL of your confirmation page.

2. Setup an email alert using this page to tell you how https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033021?hl=en, 

That way you get your automation the way you want it.

Has this been resolved yet?

How could there not be a notification letting you know someone has subscribed to your list??

Please fix this. 

Agree--this feature would be so helpful. Any chance we could get a notification for every new subscriber?

It would also be helpful to customize the subscriber form a little more, specifically the ability to add more contact fields. 

We manage a client's site on Wordpress and receive an email notification everyone someone subscribes via Constant Contact plugin. Squarespace is our preferred platform, but not having this feature is a bit of a hindrance to business growth! 

I'm really enjoying how much easier SS is for email automation than Mailchimp. However, this seems like a very important feature that SS is lacking. I would appreciate having it! Thanks to all who have already chimed in to support it!

Also agree, notifications with email subscribers would be very useful!

I agree. I’ve been looking for a notification feature to turn on so that I’m notified when someone new subscribes and I’m surprised there isn’t one.  Can this please be added?

I don’t always want to send them an email, but I would like to know. 

+1 here. No need to explain the benefits, it's just a useful feature that many people would appreciate having. 

I think I found an easy fix for this. Connect a Google Sheet to your newsletter block and then set up an email notification any time the sheet is updated.

In Squarespace > Edit Newsletter Block > Storage > Other Options > Connect Google Drive

In Google Sheet > click Help > type Edit Notifications > Choose notify me when any changes are made > Send email right away > Save
