Subscribe to Lists

array subscribeToLists(string $subscriber_id, array $list_ids [, array $options = []])

This method allows adding an existing subscriber into lists and handles confirmation email and admin notification email sending.

  • A confirmation email is an email which is sent to a subscriber so they can confirm their subscription. It is sent only if sign-up confirmation is enabled in MailPoet settings and subscriber has not received any confirmation email yet.
  • A welcome email is an automatic email which is sent to a new subscriber. This email is scheduled only if sign-up confirmation is disabled and some welcome email is configured for some of given lists.
  • An admin notification email is sent to the site admin to inform them about a new subscription. It is sent only if the notification feature is enabled in the MailPoet setting.

All these emails can be disabled using $options.

It returns a subscriber. See Get Subscriber for a subscriber data structure.
