OpenEMM Technical Support Forum

as stated in the user guide, you either have to enter recipients manually or import them via a csv file. Isn't there a way to connect to an already existing mysql database?

we already have a client database in a mysql database. following the guide i would have to export and import the database every time i wan to send out an email/newsletter. would make more sense if openemm could connect to this existing db. is this possible?

You'd find that OpenEMM's database is quite friendly. They are not that difficult to understand. Though I am new myself, from what I can see, you can edit table customer_1_tbl via MySQL. That table contains the customer details. Another table called customer_1_binding_tbl is to determine which mailing a customer will be assigned to.

So to answer your question, if you could make a script that will use your existing database, and import them into the OpenEMM database, that would work as well. ^^

I hope I was helpful.
