I have created a Drupal CCK content Event. When someone creates an event. I want an email to be sent to the users with one specific role. Also, this should happen if the creator of the event gives his consent to the website for this. How is this possible in Drupal website.
You should take a look at the rules module. It's made for things just like this.

forgive my naivete in asking this question, but I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have an email I send out through the SendGrid api using a dynamic template. The content of the email is different for each user I send it to (highly curated). I send products, their name, info, and a link to buy them.
I am looking to create a "LIKE" button next to each product for the user to interact with in the email and provide feedback on that product. That is, if they like that product but don't want to click to buy yet, they can hit "LIKE" and I'll be informed.
I am thinking I would do this through a webhook using something like integromat where a click of the button would trigger the webhook and then I would use something like airtable to update information.
Is something like this feasible? Would I just put the webhook URL in the href tag of a button? Is it possible to trigger the webhook AND then redirect to a window/tab that would acknowledge that the button was clicked?
Thank you for any feedback!
Links in an email will open a web browser outside of the email. This will make an HTTP request to the URL that you set as the HREF for the link (<a>). So, you can point that HREF directly at an endpoint on your own application and handle the request, storing the data about which user liked which product and rendering or redirecting the user to a confirmation page.
I think you may be complicating the idea by introducing the term webhook to this. I also see no reason you would want to include a third-party like Integromat to the proceedings.
looking for a little advice on HTML emails and GDPR re-permission.
With the new GDPR regulations I have to create an email to send out to an existing list requesting their consent to continue contacting them.
My intention is to have an 'I'm in' button in the email, which when clicked takes the user to another page/url which has a simple form on it requesting the users email address and checkbox for them to tick to opt in.
My question is can I achieve this another more simple way. For example in the email itself when the user clicks the 'I'm in' button, can a post submission be made automatically with their email address, that gets sent to clients email, and they then just get re-directed to a standard success message. Is something like this possible? It would save having to create a form somewhere and make the process easier for the user.
I don't normally do HTML emails so I'm a little unsure - any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
Yes, you could embed their email in the query string of the URL and then have a webapp at that URL pick up their email from the querystring and process it. Obviously you'd need to code the webapp side accordingly.
E.g:
I'm in!
If you can still send an email to the user, the collection of consent can be quite simple. It will be sufficient to send each user an email containing a link to accept the newsletter (e.g. "Yes, I want to receive the newsletter"). The email should also contain the terms and conditions of the service, and the privacy policy. What come next can be either automated, or handled manually.
The best option would be to automate the process. This can be done in multiple way, the simplest being with a customized link for each user pointing to a website capable of interpreting the data transmitted by the link itself. To achieve this result, the link contained in each email should contain an identification code - which should be anonymized where possible - so that it will be possible to link the new consent to each user. In this way, when the user clicks the link, he or she will be taken to the website. At that point, the backend will be able to collect the code passed by the link, identify the user and, finally, re-subscribe the user to the newsletter.
In practical terms, in the email there could be a link with a value to be passed as a `GET« parameter:
Yes, I want to receive the newsletter
The server-side logic could be as follows (in PHP synthax):
// re-subscribe.php
$uuid = $_GET['uuid'];
$user = getUserByUUID($uuid); // assumed function that gets the user infos by a UUID
subscribeUser($user); // assumed function that re-subscribes user to the newsletter
echo 'Thank you!'
This could even be accomplished manually, provided that a link tracker service/tool is used.
In this – less ideal – case, in the email there should only be a single clickable link, the one required to express consent (e.g. "Yes, I want to receive the newsletter"). This link could take the user wherever deemed most appropriate. What matters, in this case, is the ability, through the tracker service/tool, to know which users have clicked the link. As long as there is only one link in the email, this would inform us that the user has expressed his or her consent, and thus we could manually re-subscribe them to the newsletter. In this case, the link to the terms and conditions and to the privacy policy should be included as static text, and not as an actual clickable link.

We have an existing website that is built on DNN. I would like to add a script to an existing page that collects a user's request for to subscribe to various e-mails we publish and then to generate an e-mail that idenfies those requested newsletter subscription titles. Any ideas?
Data springs has some good subscription tools available, check out their suite of modules.
If you want to just collect names and email addresses with a request, the DNN Form and List module will work just fine.
If you just want a "subscribe to our newsletter" type of link on your page, you could couple that with a modal popup that shows the form when the link is clicked(Here is an excellent tutorial: http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdministrators/EasilycreatePopupsusingdnnModalshow/tabid/679/Default.aspx that will show you how to do it.)

I am pretty new to joomla. I have been working on the maintenance of our company's website.
Coming to the issue, the website has a 2-step user registration process where users will fill up the registration form, once they submit, a verification mail will be sent to them with the activation link. Once they click on the activation link in their mail, they will be activated.
Now, since this is getting us a lot of junk users we want to change this process.
What we want to do is :
When a user wants to register, he will be asked for his email-id.
Once the email is provided and submitted, a mail will be sent to him along with the activation link.
After the activation link is clicked he is brought to the website for further registration.
Only after this, the user will be put in our database as a valid user.
So basically, first I want to check if the email is a valid one and only then proceed with registration because email-ids are very important for our business
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Akshay
In the Database table where he will provide his email ID create a field namely "Status" that will only take Active and Inactive only. And you can use that to determine if user is active or not.
