Hello,  
I Wonderd if it would be possible to add custom checkboxes in the email\_simple\_subscription module to add custom contact property the user can check/uncheck and get saved by the user ofcourse.  
Is this even possible? or would the option to be to add another form on to the system page?  
So not a subscription type but a contact property.

Hi @BBecker1,

for security reasons, the preference center(email\_simple\_subscription module and template) are excluded from using CRM properties. This means you cannot pass them into the module/template. Technically you could add something like {{ contact.first\_name }}, but it wouldn’t output “Anton” but the exact code or “null”.

Also: There are people out there who will tell you that they know a solutions and it’s “super” easy. Yes, there are solutions out there. I’ve seen and created a few in the past, but it’s nothing I would ever recommend and always advice against.

best,

Anton
