vAMSYS 5.3.23

Marketing Email Opt-In

5.3.23 adds Marketing module via a toggle at Orwell → Settings → vAMSYS Modules → Enable Marketing.

Once enabled, pilots can subscribe to receive marketing communications from your Virtual Airline. The Marketing System allows for GDPR compliant way for users to opt-in for such emails.

This module adds a few things:

On registration, there will be a checkbox to opt-in to marketing messages.

In Phoenix -> My Profile -> Preferences the Marketing Communications opt-in can also be toggled.

To help inform your existing pilots of the marketing communications, a dismissable alert will be shown for All Pilots who have not opted in or dismissed the alert.

Finally, a Marketing section in Orwell will list all the pilots who have opted in, together with some stats, export and Usage Guidelines
