Let's say I have a website with 2 categories of users: - "users" who self-register to access content - "customers" who can build spaces, and invite users to these spaces
As virtually anyone could be a "customer" and start inviting people, I don't want the customers to see the email addresses of the users in their space; otherwise it would be easy to get email addresses of everyone.
But these spaces may get big, and customers may want to "animate the community" using newsletters. However, since we don't want them to see the email addresses, I'm left with 2 options: - implement an emailing system, which is a very hard problem solved by services such as Mailchimp and that I don't really want to solve again by myself (building emails using WYSIWYG, handling client-specific stuff, analytics, unsub system, delivery measurement, etc) - the one I'd love: find a way to integrate with one of those service
I'm not even sure if it makes sense, but I'm wondering if there is any way to integrate with one of those services but never disclose email addresses. Essentially, imagine a Mailchimp integration where you have a list of contacts that you can't open and that is automatically pulled from my website, but that you can send a campaign to.
