Attributes

[privsec]

Is there a way within listmonk to automatically gather user attributes upon subscribing?

For example, using this code block

<form method="post" action="https://domain.com/subscription/form" class="listmonk-form">
    <div>
        <h3>Subscribe</h3>
        <input type="hidden" name="nonce" />
        <p><input type="email" name="email" required placeholder="E-mail" /></p>
        <p><input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" /></p>
        <p><input type="text" name="bizname" placeholder="Business Name" /></p>
        <p><input type="tel" name="number" placeholder="Phone Number" /></p>
        <p>
          <input id="bbd0b" type="checkbox" name="l" checked value="redacted" />
          <label for="bbd0b">newsletter</label><br /><span>This will serve as the main newsletter opt-in for all signups</span>
        </p>

        <p><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" /></p>
    </div>
</form>

Does not pass through the business name nor the phone number to the listmonk account

@privsec Per https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/issues/105 you have to write a custom form and use the API instead of the built-in form.

@girish Ok, Im kinda new to this bit of coding.

To utilize the API, does cloudron or any app on cloudron assist with this?

[girish]

@privsec This requires a programmer to use the Listmonk API to add subscribers into Listmonk. It's not straightforward if you are not a developer.

Or maybe some lo-code app like n8n can help out here. But I am no expert on those apps, maybe someone else can chime in. I would imagine none of those integrate with Listmonk, so you have to "program" anyways.

@girish Thank you, I appreciate your response.

Hi there, also facing this problem.

I found in the documentation this Example Request. Sending this via app terminal creates a subscriber with attributes:

curl -u 'username:password' 'https://listmonk.domain/api/subscribers' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{"email":"subsriber@domain.com","name":"The Subscriber","status":"enabled","lists":[1],"attribs":{"city":"Bengaluru","projects":3,"stack":{"languages":["go","python"]}}}'

Now I would like to create a form that fills the $data with according information.

this already works:

<?php
 
$username='username';
$password='password';
$URL='https://listmonk.domain/api/subscribers';
	   	 
$data = array(
	'email' => 'name@domain.com',
	'name' => 'name',
	'status' => 'enabled'
	);


$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30); //timeout after 30 seconds
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

$result=curl_exec ($ch);
https://listmonk.domain/api/subscribers' = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);   //get status code
curl_close ($ch);
	  
echo $result;

?>	  

someone has a idea how to build the $data array conforming listmonk specification? I dont get lists and attribs working.

Also it should be possible to trigger listmonk Douple Opt-in e-mail confirmation.
