Email Lists

Working with Email Lists

To get to this area, click Marketing in the blue Admin Toolbar and then click Email Lists.

The main screen of this module will list out all of the existing email lists currently saved in your system. Please note that the All list is for reference only: it is not ethical to email blast marketing messages to customers who might not have opted in to receive such messages. You can use the Newsletter Signup module to allow people to sign up and opt in to any list you create.

You can create an email list by clicking the +New Email List button. When creating a new list, all you need to do is enter the name, but if your new list will include email addresses from another list, you can click the Copy From List drop-list and choose which list will be copied, and all email addresses in the source list will start out in the new list as well. Once you're finished, click to Save it, and you can begin adding email addresses.

Bulk Adding Email Addresses

In the main Email Lists screen (pictured above) you can click the Bulk Import button and add any number of email addresses to one or more of your lists all at once.

Paste your email addresses in the box below the examples. They need to go into the list with one email address per line, with no spaces or punctuation anywhere (except for the @ signs, of course). Check the box for each email list into which you want the email addresses to go, and when you click the Import button, they will load into the list. When working with large numbers of email addresses, you will see a progress bar, once it completes the load, the email list will be usable in the system.
