Dynamic Subject Feed

[alxjvr]

is there a way to use a dynamic subject text pulled from an api service similar to embedded json feeds?

@alxjvr - Sorry, but it isn't doable. Relying on external services to retrieve data for each email sent, means campaigns can take considerably longer time to send.

Hello,

I understand that getting a dynamic content per subscriber is almost impossible, but It would be great if we can get the content for each sending.

The use case would be the following: Daily Newsletter

Every morning we want to send a campaign with the last 5 articles of a blog:
Email content => we can do this using the XML/JSON feed. As far I understood the system asks for the feed one time and then caches it to the next recipients. Great!

Subject Line => we cannot change it, but it should allow, for instance, to select the title of the first article of the feed. Or to get a string from a remote url.

Is this too difficult to implement?

Thanks,

PS: There's also another post on this forum asking for something similar:

This part works since many versions.

That's I've said: "we can do this"

What we can't do is using these tags on the subject line.

@Filipe Silva - It is possible to parse XML/JSON feeds in the subject if you are using mailwizz >= 1.3.5.3

You should be able to have a subject like this:

[XML_FEED_BEGIN url='http://www.whatever.com/news/feed/' count='1'] [XML_FEED_ITEM_TITLE] [XML_FEED_END]

And mailwizz will parse it just fine.

Yup, MailWizz can do many things, sometimes i think just too many.

Thanks, i have updated the KB articles now to say the tags are allowed in subject too.
