List source donations lets you use a list to select people, who have made donations attributed to a specific accounting category, optionally on or before, after or between specified dates. This allows you to email previous donors to a particular campaign, for example. Read More…
Change to managing list subscriptions
In member tasks → list subscriptions, Cameo now only shows the current status of the selected memberships’ subscriptions once you select a list. We also now provides filters for the list of lists. This makes it easier to find the list you want to work on. Read More…
Cameo 10: proposed changes to lists
For Cameo 10, I am thinking about making some changes to how lists and templates work to address some problems, particularly with opting out. I envisage: • Separating opt-outs from lists, so that people opt-out from a small number of purposes for which templates are sent. •Allowing all lists to be subscribed to manually, in addition to anyone they automatically select.

Forward emailed unsubscribe requests
When automated email requests to unsubscribe from a list are received (usually sent when someone clicks an unsubscribe button in their email app), you can now forward them to Cameo for automatic processing. Send them to Cameo’s inbox email address with +unsubscribe or +u appended (or in include +unsubscribe in the subject line). Read More…
“Questions” – a form type for questionnaires, surveys, polls, petitions, consultations and applications
A new form type, “questions”, joins the stable of Cameo forms. This provides general data acquisition for things like questionnaires and petitions, or anywhere you want to collect structured responses to a set of questions connected to a respondent. Accompanying the form is a new section, “questionnaire and petition responses”, in “member info”. You can see the responses to your form in various ways there, including on bar charts, pie charts and maps. The form identifies a list to collect together the responses and uses custom fields for your questions. A new custom field lets you ask them to pinpoint a location on a map. Read More…
Question: merge automatic and manual lists?
I am considering merging automatic and manual lists. If you have any comments to make on this, please do share them. All lists could instead identify people both implicitly (according to their criteria or rules) and explicitly (like manual lists now). Read More…
Sending email to event attendees
Sending emails to people who booked for an event is easier with a new button in the Reservations, Bookings and Attendance section on the Events menu . This doesn’t add anything you couldn’t do manually before, but it brings several steps together in one place.
To send email to event attendees, you need a list which selects them and a template which has that list as its audience. The email attendees button at the end of the Reservations section makes both for you in one go. Read More…
Which automatic lists is someone in?
There is now a link “(+ auto)” at the end of the Lists line for each individual in a membership record that shows you all the automatic lists whose selection criteria would include that individual. Read More…
Tags update
Tags in items which offer them to help categorise and filter (reminder messages, file store files, templates and lists) now have a common implementation and presentation style, making things more consistent. To accommodate this in File Store, the presentation of files has been brought into line with other sets of things, with a click on a summary line revealing detail. Read More…
New list source: “current postal only”
There is a new source for automatic lists, and therefore as an audience for templates: “current postal only”. This selects people who aren’t contactable by email. Read More…
