Topic: Auto system - Notify existing members of "new members"

I see many other dating sites have a feature whereby an existing member is auto notified on a regular basis, weekly, monthly, (whatever) of all new members that fit their criteria.

It doesn't have to be based on a "perfect match" type system (would be nice). Even if (for example), it just let  existing male members looking to meet females, know who the latest females are of that week etc., profile photo and short details is all that is needed.
This would keep a contact going between the site and a member and act as a reminder that you are still flourishing as opposed to stagnating with the same old members.

I think there is a similar request for this feature but wanting "fuller" feaures. It doesn't really matter, if that is too complicated to incorporate, a simple notification system that just does as above would be better than nothing.

For this to work appropriately, I think admin and member would need to be able to turn this feature on/off. Admin could probably change the time interval between mails and the amount of new members to notify and what details to send.

All of this information is stored in the database. What do you think, is this possible ?

Great idea. This is how it works in most of dating sites - and that's why new members immediately receive many responses (and usually it makes them to consider to update!)

Hello Community,

i developed such a PHP script - for cron use, in my case once/week every friday night

it send out one HTML email to all active MALE members who looking for FEMALE (up to 100 picture profile short views) of all new active FEMALE profiles with pictures since the last week. and vice versa one HTML email to all FEMALE members

the short view show the profile picture, the username, the age and in my case the city and links to the website/profile

the text is hardcoded inside the script

Re: Auto system - Notify existing members of "new members"

This seems to be a hot topic and I agree that a lot of the top dating sites I belong to (for research smile ) I get an email with latest or new  members.  Some send it out once a month, some once a week, but most include the last 20 to 30 members.

The emails are obviously gender generated. I belong to some sites as a male and others as a female. If I'm a female member looking for a male, I get an email with new male members only. If I'm a male, looking for a female, the emails I get are all new female members.

If this feature is added, my only wish is that admin have control to determine how many latest members are in the email, the gender in the email sent to the gender wanting to meet that gender, and when and  how often it is sent. I also hope it can be turned off if one decides not to use it at all.

I think Vlad doesnt read this topic sad

Re: Auto system - Notify existing members of "new members"

Vlad please give us this feature in the next version.
Many dating site is having this as one of their feature.

Ability for the admin to take full control.
Ability for members to enable or disable it and to set the time to receive email matches.

I think it reminds & convince members to return to the site and consider to update & subscribe.

Cheers

Hi

Stop begging for features it is not going to happen.  I see everyday new dating sites are launching and getting a head of us with good traffic and ranking. Check them all none them using those pre-made commercial scripts. I think VLD is also running their own dating site and using all the best features there which out us knowing which is ok . So it does not make sense to help your competition so stop dreaming for all this MUST features. Hire someone and add all primery features.
