Hi I have been asked by a company to create a Campaign Monitor Form that will allow users to subscribe and select from a set of EE categories what type of job they need to search for and to have this information processed so that they can receive highly targeted html emails.

here is what the job search filter looks like:

Ability PPL

I am working with an EE developer and he has recommended using this add on: Champagne

But has mentioned that that we may need to source another add on that will be able to automate this process that I have described..

Does such a thing exist or will a custom php script handle this.

So should just the job be passed to Campaign Monitor or the location, sector and job type?

Not sure if Champaign will handle additional opt-in lists. Also look at Campaigner: http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/extensions/campaigner/.

Can you not just use the Campaign Monitor form with opt-in checkboxes? Or is this to automatically add them to email newsletters when they run a search on the site (e.g. tick a box when searching to be emailed jobs like this)?

You could do it via JavaScript and Ajax (CM provides code for Ajax sending) - but this wouldn’t be fully accessible (e.g. if JavaScript wasn’t running)!

Otherwise you could take the PHP code supplied by CM for the ajax sending (it’s a proxy file) and add to an EE template, giving you access to the member details and/or form submission details (to then convert the dropdown options from the search into checkboxes to send to CM).
