Subscriptions

The Subscriptions tab is where you create newsletters, manage subscribers, and trigger sends.

Open Components → Sendex → Subscriptions.

Creating a newsletter

• Click Create, fill in the form, and save

Newsletter fields

Field	Required	Description
Name	yes	Name in the manager
Template	yes	MODX template for the letter body
Email subject	yes	Subject line
From email	yes	From address
Reply-to email	yes	Reply-To
Sender name	yes	Display name
Enabled	yes	Whether the newsletter is active
Description	no	Text in the subscribe form
Image	no	Newsletter image URL

Inactive newsletters are hidden on the site unless the snippet is called with &showInactive=1.

Grid actions

Action	Description
Edit	Edit fields and subscribers
Enable / Disable	Toggle active
Send to subscribers	Build the queue and send to all subscribers immediately
Remove	Delete the newsletter and related queue rows (cascade)

Sending skips inactive and blocked MODX users (user_id > 0).

Send to subscribers calls addQueues() and immediate flush() — fine for small lists. For thousands of recipients build the queue separately and use cron — see Email queue.

Subscribers

Open a newsletter → Subscribers tab.

Add one user

Pick a MODX user from the dropdown. Only users with a profile email are listed.

Add a group

On Subscribers tab pick a MODX user group. Only active users with Profile.blocked = false are added. Per-row sxOnSubscribe events are not fired (bulk operation).

Информация

To log every row on bulk subscribe use a subscribe() loop via PHP API, not the manager group button.

Remove a subscriber

Context menu → Remove. Calls unSubscribe with source mgr and fires unsubscribe events.

Export subscribers

The Export button on the subscribers tab downloads CSV via the manager connector (not a public URL). Requires edit_document.

Export columns: sendex_export_fields. Hide the button: sendex_hide_export_button.

Permissions

Action	Permission
View Sendex page	view_sendex or view_document
Create newsletter	new_document
Edit, subscribers, export, send	edit_document

Информация

The code checks view_sendex, but transport does not ship a separate policy. By default view_document is enough.
