Hi,
I'm trying to solve a client request for their Modx site and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. A subscription box in a sidebar. Similar to what they currently have on Wordpress. A simple name and email form. After the user is subscribed, every time a new blog post is posted, an email will be sent to all subscribers. I know you can subscribe to an rss feed. Is there any way to collect emails and send out an email to subscribers when a new post is posted?
Thanks
Modx 2.2.4 / Articles 1.6.1
Or another way to accomplish it - Is there a way to send a newsletter to subscribers and have it posted the the blog?
Thanks

I have not tested it with Articles. It works now with regular resources, but I'm not sure whether it currently works with Articles posts.

Thanks for the replies. I've set up Subscribe and EmailResources and it looks like it will do the trick for now. Very interested in Notify...
The new version of Subscribe should be out this weekend and announced the beginning of the week. I hope to get Notify out sometime early next week. Notify will send a link to the article based on groups and tags. It will also notify Twitter and Facebook.
As far as I can tell, Notify works fine with Articles (although the tags are independent, IOW, Notify has its tags and Articles has its tags but they're not related).

Notify is not working while clicking on Launch Notify. It gives nf is not defined error and doesn't work.
Each time I create a new article, go to its template variable and click Launch Notify, it gives "ReferenceError: nf is not defined" while debugging on console.
Is the Notify plugin enabled and connected to OnDocFormPrerender? That's where the nf function is defined and the js is injected.
