We are a sports club and use Community Builder as our membership system with a seperate invoicing system.
We would like to have an integrated system so are evaluating CBSUBS
One issue is that we have members without a valid email address (e.g. kids within a family) so use dummy addresses for these members and link them to their parent for invoicing.
Family plans do not fit our various membership setups (because of complexity of multiple sports for one thing).
Is there a way with CB fields, workflow or other facility to set up invoice renewal notifications for these children using an 'alternative address' field in CB?
By notifications do you mean the emails sent by CBSubs Mailer, presentation tab of your plans, or CBSubs Emails integration? Only CBSubs Emails lets you specify the recipient address directly which is where you would substitute in your other email address field (e.g. could be a CB Code Field that grabs the parent users email address). CBSubs Mailer and the presentation tab emails will only let you do this using CC/BCC fields.

The mailer I believe - that is the route to sending notification that the subscription is about to expire so renewal required.
We could easily use the cc field for the alternative address but that leaves the problem of an invalid address in the 'to' field.
OK the email would go out but we would end up with a bad mailing reputation.
Any thoughts on how we could blank out the 'To' field ?
It's not currently possible to change the To address for CBSubs Mailer or presentation tab emails, but am looking into it now to see if it'd be a simple feature to implement.

Ok, have looked into this and was able to implement it relatively easily. It's currently pending review before it can be merged and released. The new feature adds a "To email addresses" parameter to mailers in CBSubs Mailer to override the to address. It supports substitutions so you can substitute in a different email address from a separate email field for example.
