We’ve got a registration form, including a “Want to receive our newsletter?” field. Newsletter subscriptions are handled by a 3rd party (Exact Target, to be exact).

Thus far we’ve been kicking in old school and saving the answer to that question in a custom field, then once a week doing an export of the membership database by hand and importing it into Exact Target, but obviously that’s less than optimal.

We’d like to make this process more immediate. I can do a javascript that submits the form to two places, but my understanding is that such behavior isn’t ‘officially supported’ by browsers and may not always work.

So I was hoping to find a plugin or something that hooked into the membership sign up module and allowed a second submission via curl or something to an outside form.

Am I making sense?

Basically the person comes, fills out there data, and hits submit. When they do, their data gets inserted into the EE database and sent off to Exact Target as well.

Any ideas?

Hi Peter,

you can use hook “member_member_register” and can develop an extension. easily you can insert the member data into other database tables.

Best Regards,

Thanks! I’ve never done an extension…sounds like it’s time I learned how!

I very much appreciate you pointing me in the right direction!
