Details

In support of MDN's OKR of 50,000 sign-ups for Dev Rel's web development focused email newsletter.
Please check out this doc that has the email signup form code info: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1P9EBDy-i8ULF8cd7k0bN9a38pbI4ketTYMCbKEoEr5Y/edit#slide=id.g136f1b2763_0_0 The Newsletter ID for the Dev email program is "app-dev". Feel free to start implementing this code for testing, but do not go live with it until: 1) signup form copy has been finalized and legal approved 2) re-engagement email sent to the current list 3) confirm & welcome emails have been updated We're tracking this work in Bug 1310319. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Jess! I created this bug at Stephanie's request, who needed a bug to reference when committing the code for the MDN sign-up process. I wasn't aware about bug 1310319--sounds like we should use that as the main tracking/reference bug for all work related to this goal? If so we can probably just close this one out that I created?
Ah! Cool! I started to do that, but then didn't want to muck up your signup form production work (if you needed a separate bug). Feel free to check with the signup form implementation team, and if they don't need this bug for specific questions, close this one out and add the right people to the main bug please. Thanks!
Let's keep this bug open and just about the MDN implementation.

Hello! Saw the mockups during the Sprint readout. 1) Is there a staging server where I test the form? 2) The privacy policy language & checkbox are missing on the signup. You can find the copy/language in the spec doc (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VoV9rwUjbpikVVj0YUXc_wUOO1kxtU26MIIOJKoqcqE/edit#): [_] I'm okay with Mozilla handling my info as explained in this <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/">Privacy Policy</a>." Can you add this in? Thanks!
Like it does on mozilla.org the privacy policy language and check box appears if you interact with the form. The staging server is developer.mozilla.org. Be aware that: 1) this is connected to the *live* newsletter backend 2) the email team has not given us the go-ahead to test the form yet, the emails you receive as a result of signing up with the form may not be the ones you expect.
Thanks Stephanie! I'm part of the email team - I dig that the message has been internalized that emails still need to be updated. Yay! :D Just tested the form on developer.allizom.org and it worked as expected! \o/ As soon as we get the other items updated, we'll be ready to launch this live.

Jessilyn, Does "works as expected" mean the email was added to the correct bucket in the CRM and that the sign up was identified as coming from MDN?
Flags: needinfo?(jdavis)
Correct! The email was subscribed to the correct email newsletter program and the Source URL was: https://developer.allizom.org/en-US/ It'd be good to run another test to make sure that any UTM parameters that are used when sending traffic to MDN are passed through. I just tried to add in some fake ones to the staging URL and they are stripped out. (https://developer.allizom.org/en-US/?utm_campaign=test&utm_content=test) Do you know if there's a way to test this?
Flags: needinfo?(jdavis)
I... didn't know that was possible. Does that work on other sites? We might have to do some special code to preserve them.
Preserving UTM codes in the email signup form process does work on other sites. For example: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/newsletter/?utm_campaign=desktop&utm_content=foxbox&utm_medium=snippet passes through the UTM parameters in the form just fine. It could be that the MDN site as a whole doesn't keep UTM parameters when visiting the homepage.
I suspect the problem is that the parameters are not going to be transmitted across domains for user privacy reasons. (I know they are visually stripped from MDN's address bar but they should still be preserved in the request headers) I'll re-read the documentation to see if there is a way I can pass this information manually.
oh fancy! Let me test it again to see if it's preserved and passes through in the request headers. I may have stopped testing seeing that it was stripped in the address bar.
Herm - I just tested it out by going to: https://developer.allizom.org/en-US/?utm_campaign=test&utm_content=test And the UTM paramters didn't pass through. Not a blocker, but would be good to have as we point people to signup (more important for the Apps & Hacks blog and stand-alone Dev signup page). Speaking of which - does someone know where work is being tracked for a stand-along Dev signup page and the Apps & Hacks signup forms?
I can't disable the code which strips the UTM parameters and I can't see a way to add them back for the newsletter sign up. Sorry.

Hi, Is there any archive for the newsletter? I recently discovered the "Subscribe to the Mozilla Developer Newsletter" box on MDN and found this bug. As a MDN reader (and casual contributor), I'm interested in the newsletter, but I want to see what the newsletter looks like. Thank you!

Thank you! Howdy! There isn't yet, but we will be making one. We haven't actually launched the first newsletter yet (it's venturing out on its brave little way on Thursday). For now, though, you can sign up to receive future ones here: http://developer.mozilla.com (the sign-up form is halfway down the page on the right) This very bug is the one that will make it so you'll have a handy form to go directly to. As soon as we have a couple archived ones to show, we'll be setting up an archive. :)
