Overview
This article explains how to import and export subscribers for your Announcement List in the DreamHost panel.
How to import or export a list
The subscribers to an Announcement List must confirm they want to stay on the list. After pasting the list, you'll send a customizable email explaining the switch to a new list provider. This email will ask them to re-confirm their subscription by clicking a link, which completes the re-confirmation process.
Importing a list of subscribers
To import a list of subscribers:
- Navigate to the Announcement Lists page.
- Create a new list, or click the Edit button to the right of an existing list.
- In the box titled Emails to Add, paste in a list of all emails (one per line) you wish to import.
- When finished, click the Modify Subscribers... button.
Exporting a list of subscribers
The only way to do this is to cut and paste the subscribers in your panel into a text editor and then save the file:
- Navigate to the Announcement Lists page.
- Click the Edit button to the right of an existing list.
- Scroll down to the Current subscriber list section.
- Select which information you'd like displayed for each user.
- Copy all information in the text field to a text editor such as Notepad++.
You'll then have a list in a plain text file of all of your email subscribers.
