Buttondown Documentation
Sometimes you want things to be organized just right. We get it! That’s why we created a way for you to see all the information that you want—and nothing more—when you’re glancing at your “Subscriber” tab.
No two authors are exactly alike—and that extends to their “Subscriber” list views. To tailor your list view, simply toggle to the “+” button in the upper right hand corner of the “Subscriber” tab in your Buttondown dashboard. From there, you’ll have the opportunity to make a custom selection among the following “Info” and “Metadata” options.
You can also sort your subscribers based on any column of your choosing. Note that the only required column is the “Email” column.
COLUMN | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
A subscriber's email address. | |
Tags | A comma-separated list of tags associated with the subscriber. |
Status | Regular, paid, unactivated, etc. |
Subscription date | The date the subscriber signed up. |
Unsubscription date | The date on which a subscriber unsubscribed from your newsletter. |
Churn date | The date on which a premium subscriber canceled their subscription. |
UTM Campaign | UTM Campaign. |
UTM Medium | UTM Medium. |
UTM Source | UTM Source. |
Referrer URL | Referrer URL. |
Metadata | Custom keys and values to sort your subscriber base. (You can learn more about metadata here!) |
Not seeing some of these columns listed? That’s because you might not have certain data available. For instance, if you don’t use metadata, the “Metadata” column won’t be listed as an option—because, well, there’d be nothing to populate it with! However, if you ever do want to start using metadata to sort your subscriber base, then the option will pop up.
You’re ready to go off and organize to your heart’s content. Just one last thing: If you ever think up a column that’s not listed here, we’d love to hear about it! You can always email us at support@buttondown.email.
