Yes please! I have also brought this issue up. I use the blast feature rather than the Sites newsletter feature, so I need an easy way for people to be able to opt in and out of the blast. Otherwise I'm stuck doing it manually, and we'll lose a lot of people opting in who have no way to do it other than knowing who to email about it.

✌️ This is VERY important. We need to have a way for someone to subscribe on our website (non-Tithely website), using a simple sign up form (full name & email address boxes only), that directly adds them to the group that we use to send our newsletters (All People) automatically when they submit the form. How can there be a newsletter system without a way to get people on a list? It seems like this ought to be a basic feature with a blast email communication platform (for weekly newsletters)— especially with the new product announcements they made last week for Messaging.

I agree with Jon. While the keyword (texting) is one way for people to add themselves to a group, it doesn't allow people to sign up on a the church's website (e.g., MailChimp).

This feature would be really helpful!

hi Jon,

My recommendation for accomplishing this is to use Keywords. You could create a keyword "JOIN" and folks could text JOIN to your church and get added a list (Group) you chose - you could require all of the fields in the form. This would add members or guests to your People account.

Thanks,
