Roll up, roll up - who's using contact permissions and would you care to share your setup?
We are migrating to Contact Permissions and in looking around, it seems there are two approaches: a top-level channel approach and then a more granular approach.
Some questions for you:
The cleanest way I have scoped out would be a mix of contact permissions alongside contact point purposes.
Contact Permissions: mail, email, phone (and anything else)Contact Point Purpose: specific opt-ins for example monthly enewsletter, donor comms etc
FWIW we're on TNEW and use Wordfly. So TNEW's Contact Permissions plug-in would ask the top-level permission during checkout, and Wordfly would be linked with contact point purposes to allow our audience to select their preferences.
Please share your setup! I'm keen to hear how others are doing it. Especially you folk in the EU who have gone through a lot of rethinking here because of GDPR.
Cheers,

David,
I' very interested in what you decided to do and also if you chose to have contact permission response on Individuals only or on both household and individual? We too have TNEW and use Wordfly.
Are Contact points and Contact Point Permissions working with T-New? Or is the best practice still using Interests? To track customers intrestes in orginizational mailing lists?
I'm also working on a project that needs to store contact purposes and permissions from customers.
Tom,
TNEW has a plug-in you can purchase for Contact Permissions. We are just about ready to go live with TNEW and are installing the plug-in to our test next week. Are you using Contact Permissions? If yes, do you have a moment to connect for some questions?
We are not yet using Contact Point and Contact permissions. As I was approaching my current project I was using the old Intrest way of thinking about the project. However, when I saw this post I realized that I was not taking Contact Points and Contact Point Purposes and that going forward maybe this is the better way to implement my current project.
So, I'm really interested in what others are doing with Contact Points and Contact Point Permissions. The organization I'm working with does not have a legacy of using Interests. So, I would not have to do any retroactive conversion.
I'd be glad to connect with you. But, I've not implemented this feature set.
Would there be a value for several of us to get on the line to have a conversation about this?
Maybe we could entice a Network staff person with the knowledge to jump on the call with us.
I'd be willing to host this withing the context of analytic Coffee!
I would be interested in that if we can get some users who are already using them that would be great.
I'd be interested in joining as well. We are just starting to map out how we're going to use contact point purposes and permissions.
