Utilities: Other: Action Tags: Member Update Tag

A Member Update Tag updates a database field for a member. For example, if a customer visits a particular page with a contest on it, you may update a database field to indicate the customer is interested in contests.

The resulting tag must be pasted in the source code of any web pages that the message recipients will visit. With the tag in place, when a recipient visits that page, the tag will cause the ListManager database to be updated with the information in the tag. You must include some kind of tracking in your message—clickthroughs, opens, or HTML detection—in order to update a member in this fashion.

See Utilities: Other: Action Tags for more information about how Action Tags work.

Field Name

The name of the field to update, from the ListManager members_ table.

Value

The value that should updated to the field when a customer visits the page.

Create New Field

If you'd prefer to create a field to store your member update information, you may create a new field. See Utilities: Administration: Server: Database: Add/Remove Member Columns: Add Member Column for more information.

Important Note: Third Party Cookies

You should use the same domain name (with a different host name) for ListManager as you use for the site you are tracking. If they are not the same, some visitors may receive warnings about third party cookies, and you may not get accurate data about visits.

For example, if the action tag refers to your ListManager server, lists.example.com, but your site is www.example1.com, people who click through from your mailing to your website may receive a warning about third party cookies. The solution is to create a DNS entry for lists.example1.com that refers back to your ListManager server, and to use that domain for your action tags.
