eMember – remove email field or unique email requirement

[chloerivet]

Hi Team,

I have members on the list that I am importing that do not have an email address. I would still like to house these memberships and manage them manually through eMember.

The two solutions that I thought of would be:

– Remove the email requirement temporarily just so that I can upload my list

OR

– Remove the requirement for non-duplicate emails in the database and I would just put my business email address in that field.

Any thoughts on how I can work around this?

Thank you!

On a regular operational basis; email addresses are used to:

• Complete membership registrations.

   

• Complete member initiated password resets.

   

• Send membership renewal reminders.

   

• Send membership account status notifications.

   

• Process membership payments.

   

With that said; if you are MANUALLY importing membership records, either by hand or with the Bulk Member Data Importer addon; you can just use fictitious email addresses, using the example.com domain (that’s what it’s for): fake001@example.com, fake002@example.com, etc.

So, how will you prevent these members from triggering an outbound email?

Hi! They will probably never actually log in. These members will be through a complete manual process as they are currently are! Thankfully, it isn’t too many of them. If they ever want to log in, they will need to come through the admin team and we will update the email address to the correct one.

Thank you for the tip! I will try it today!
