# Changing subscriber’s status via API

 * I’ve been testing MailPoet3 for a while and developing my newsletter form mostly
   by using API.
 * There is one thing I cannot figure out the situation like as following.
    - A user singed up and get a news letter.
    - He/She change their status to unsubscribed from the link in news letter.
    - Sometimes later he/she sign up for the same news letter again.
 * I thought subscriber’s status was going to be ‘subscribed’ again at this point
   but it remained ‘unsubscribed’.
 * If subscriber delete (or lost) the news letter, it seems like there is no way
   he/she can subscribe the same newsletter again unless the admin manually change
   his/her status in the admin panel.
 * I might misunderstand and wrongly use the API in the first place.
    I use API 
   like this by the way. `$mailpoet_api->subscribeToLists($subscribersEmail, [$listID]);`
 * Any thought or answer appreciated.

 * I’ve tested with normal sign up form and it does work that MP sends new confirmation
   email to the subscriber and changed his/her status from `unsubscribed` to `unconfirmed`.
 * I hope API acts same as normal form.
    So there’s no chance I can achieve the 
   same with this API so far.

 * Ok I did some research and found a nice plugin called “Add-on Contact Form 7 
   MailPoet 3”. I took a looked at some code inside and this class did kind of what
   I want to do.
    - MailPoet\Models\Subscriber;
 * Subscriber class can handle subscriber’s status with its static method `createOrUpdate`,
   i was able to change his/her status programatically.
 * Thanks Tikweb 🙂
