Members and community

Every reader.
One list.

Audience is every reader of your publication, free or paid. Search it, narrow it, tick the people a filter finds and change them all at once: a newsletter, a label, an export.

Give the Supporter badge to everyone I list below.

  • list_badges
  • award_badge
  • take_back_badge

Two ways to do it.

By hand

In the admin

  1. Open Audience. Search by Name or email, and narrow the list with Status, Plan, Newsletter and Label.
  2. Press Add to add one person by hand: an email, a name, labels and the newsletters they join. No email is sent.
  3. Open a member's page to change their name, address or labels, confirm their address, or press View as this person.
  4. Tick members, or select all a filter finds, and use the bar: subscribe or unsubscribe a newsletter, add or remove a label, export or delete.
  5. Press Export all, or export the people a filter finds, and download a CSV.

With your agent

In Claude, ChatGPT or your editor

Give the Supporter badge to ana@example.com, leo@example.com and kim@example.com.

Take the Beta tester badge back from sam@example.com.

The tools it calls

  • list_badges
  • award_badge
  • take_back_badge

No tool reads or changes the member list itself, so filters, labels, newsletters and exports stay on the Audience screen. Your agent acts on a member by their address, for badges. A developer's code reaches the list through the admin's JSON with a staff key.

For example

  • Everyone who came to the workshop

    A pottery studio labels its workshop guests Workshop. One filter finds them, and the bar subscribes them all to the Classes newsletter.

  • A reader who wrote in

    A reader emails a bookshop's newsletter to ask to join. An admin presses Add, types the address, and ticks the newsletter. No confirmation email goes out.

  • A clean list before a launch

    A game studio filters for Pending addresses, exports them as a CSV for its records, then deletes them.

Questions, answered

How do I find a member on PixelGlass?
Open Audience and type a name or an address. Narrow the list by status, plan, newsletter or label, and the address of the page keeps the filter.
Can I add a member by hand?
Yes. Press Add on the Audience screen. The member is confirmed, joins the newsletters you tick, and gets no email.
What is a label?
A word your team puts on members to find them later. A label nobody wears any more is gone.
Can I change many members at once?
Yes. Tick them, or select all a filter finds, then subscribe or unsubscribe a newsletter, add or remove a label, export them or delete them.
Can I delete many members at once?
Yes. You type how many to confirm, and you can download a CSV of them first. A member with a paid plan is deleted on their own page, where the plan ends.
Who can see and change the member list?
Editors and above see it. Admins and the owner add, change, export and delete members.
