# Batch Import API Method or adding individually with the API?

 * In which way does the CM Dual Registration plugin add new subscribers to CM? 
   Does it use the Batch Import API Method or does it do it individually with the
   API?
 * In Campaign Monitor’s help files ( [http://help.campaignmonitor.com/topic.aspx?t=171#import-trigger](http://help.campaignmonitor.com/topic.aspx?t=171#import-trigger))
   regarding new subscriber autoresponders for people added via the API:
    - Importing subscribers using the ‘batch import API method’ will not trigger
      autoresponders _(but this can be overridden, see details below)._
    - Adding people individually via the API will trigger autoresponders.
 * **To override the default setting for the batch import API method:**
    - Add the `QueueSubscriptionBasedAutoResponders` parameter and set it to `true`.

 * We use Batch Import API Method to perform ‘save and sync’. And we add people 
   individually when a new wordpress user is created.

 * When you use the Batch Import API Method, Campaign Monitor states:
 * “Adding people individually via the API will trigger new subscriber autoresponders.
   Using the ‘batch import API method’ will not.”
 * However, they suggest a workaround for this:
 * “To override the default setting for the batch import API method: Add the `QueueSubscriptionBasedAutoResponders`
   parameter and set it to `true`.”
 * My question to you: in this plugin, is the QueueSubscriptionBasedAutoResponders
   set to TRUE?
 * If not, can you please create a checkbox in the admin area of WP that allows 
   me to select true or false?

 * QueueSubscriptionBasedAutoResponders is not set to true.
    Adding the checkbox
   doesn’t seem difficult. But I have to discuss it with Carlo first.

 * Yes, a checkbox for that option would be great! Thank you. I think others would
   also enjoy a checkbox for:
 * `RestartSubscriptionBasedAutoResponders`
 * and for:
 * `Resubscribe`

 * Any update on the possibility of adding checkboxes?
 * For:
 * `RestartSubscriptionBasedAutoResponders`
 * And for:
 * `Resubscribe`
