Subscriber selects interest group (select mailing list)

I am considering switching from Mailer Lite to Squarespace Campaigns. We don't have a complicated setup but it seems Squarespace Campaigns is very limited.

Is there a creative way for newsletter subscribers to select their interest group on signup, which then adds them to the correct mailing list?

Our website is projectancestry.com (you can see the interest group selection on the pop up).

Thanks for any ideas!

I have the same question.

It seems that Squarespace Campaigns has the ability to segment your subscribers by putting them in different mailing lists. However, it is impossible to offer subscribers the option to select which mailing lists they want to be added to in the 'newsletter block' (or pop-up).

Similarly, I am curious how people can UNsubscribe to a single mailing list, as the squarespace help guide states that if someone hits the unsubscribe link, (s)he will be unsubscribed from ALL mailing lists. What if someone wants to be removed from just one?

I sincerely hope I am missing something...

I am also looking for this option. Is this being developed?

Does anyone have advice on how to work around this?

Unfortunately, the current workaround is: don't use squarespace to send emails; use another service.

This really needs to be added... for a user that doesn't need a lot of functionality with their email setup and doesnt want to use an external service like mailchimp it should be a no brainer to allow a subscriber to choose which mailing lists they would like to subscribe to without having to fill out multiple forms or newsletters. A simple column of check boxes with the choice of mailing lists under one form/newsletter block would not be a hard implementation.

Also, If the subscriber clicks the unsubscribe button, they should also be given the choice of which mailing lists they would like to stay on without being automatically unsubscribed to all of them.

 

I found this article which prompts some thinking when decision making:
