Create subscribers

To create a subscriber, you use the NewslettersManager class. First, you initialize the NewslettersManager. You get the mailing list. You call the CreateSubscriber method to create the subscriber and then you set its properties. Then, to add the subscriber to the mailing list, you call the Subscribe method. Finally, you save the changes.

The following code creates a subscriber and adds it to the specified mailing list with the Native API:

1. C#

    using System;
    using System.Linq;
    using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Newsletters;
    using Telerik.Sitefinity.Newsletters.Model;
    
    namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Modules.EmailCampaigns.Subscribers
    {
        public partial class EmailCampaignsSnippets
        {
            public static void CreateSubscriberAndAddToMailingList(Guid subscriberId, Guid mailingListId, string firstName, string lastName, string email)
            {
                NewslettersManager manager = NewslettersManager.GetManager();
                MailingList mailingList = manager.GetMailingLists().Where(l => l.Id == mailingListId).SingleOrDefault();
    
                if (mailingList != null)
                {
                    Subscriber subscriber = manager.CreateSubscriber(true, subscriberId);
                    subscriber.FirstName = firstName;
                    subscriber.LastName = lastName;
                    subscriber.Email = email;
    
                    manager.Subscribe(subscriber, mailingListId);
                    manager.SaveChanges();
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

NOTE: To generate correctly the statistics for the subscriber, you must set the generateShortId parameter of the CreateSubscriber method to true.
