Notifications to "users" signed up from front-end

Description

I've been looking at this issue for quite some time now so I'm hoping anyone here can help me.

I installed sprout-email, set up notifications to a specific audience/list when an action happens. That part works great and is ready to use. Now the main roadblock is how I can have website visitors sign up for these notifications, without having to be logged in anywhere.

I have a craft cms collection where email addresses can be added to from the front-end as I would want, but I don't see how I can then use this collection of subscribers to send the notifications to. On the other hand I tried this approach but then I just get a 403 forbidden error because I can not access the cp from the front-end without the right permissions.

My goals is to gather email addresses from a simple front-end form with 1 field, and send notifications to the addresses when an action in craft happens.

Your intuition was correct @kacimfedjkhi and there was a bug in the underlying logic for adding subscribers to lists on the front-end while logged out.

I've just released Sprout Email 4.44.444-beta.8 which should resolve this and the code examples in the approach you linked to above should now work. Let me know if you run into anything else.

{# Retrieve a list #}
{% set subscriberListAudience = sprout.mailer.audiences
    .id(123)
    .one() %}

{# Add a subscriber to a list #}
<form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
    {{ csrfInput() }}
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="sprout-module-mailer/subscriber-lists/add">
    <input type="hidden" name="audience[id]" value="{{ subscriberListAudience.id }}">
    <input type="text" name="user[email]" value="email@website.com">
    <input type="submit" value="Add to List">
</form>

{# Remove a subscriber from a list #}
<form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
    {{ csrfInput() }}
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="sprout-module-mailer/subscriber-lists/remove">
    <input type="hidden" name="audience[id]" value="{{ subscriberListAudience.id }}">
    <input type="text" name="user[email]" value="email@website.com">
    <input type="submit" value="Remove from List">
</form>
