On the MailPoet > Subscribers page, you can manually add new subscribers or edit existing subscribers.

There are also a number of bulk administrator actions you can perform. More information about managing your subscribers lists is available here.

Add a New Subscriber

Clicking the “+ Add New” button at the top of the Subscribers page will allow you to manually add a new subscriber to your list.

On the Subscriber profile page, only the E-mail field is required to be filled out, but you will also have options to set the subscriber’s:

• First name
• Last name
• Status: Subscribed, Unconfirmed, Unsubscribed, Inactive, Bounced
• Lists they should be subscribed to
• Tags to add to their profile

The profile will also include any Custom Fields that you have added (either by adding to a Form, or via CSV import).

Duplicate Email Addresses

Each subscriber must have a unique email address. If you try to add a new subscriber using an email address that already exists in your subscriber list, MailPoet will display an error message instead of creating a duplicate entry:

“A subscriber with E-mail ‘example@email.com’ already exists.”

To update an existing subscriber’s information, find them on the MailPoet > Subscribers page and click their email address or the Edit link to open their profile. See Editing an Existing Subscriber below.

Note: This applies only to manually adding subscribers through the admin interface. Subscribers who sign up through a MailPoet subscription form with an email address that is already subscribed will not see an error — MailPoet handles this gracefully on the front end. CSV imports also handle duplicates differently; see Importing Subscribers with CSV Files for details.

Editing an Existing Subscriber

From the MailPoet > Subscribers page, you can also edit an existing subscriber by clicking their email address, or hovering over them and clicking the “Edit” link. This will bring up their Subscriber profile page, similar to above.
