Sending Bulk Emails from Contacts

You can email a group of contacts straight from the Contacts screen, using the same builder you use for campaigns and workflows.

What you get

• Three ways to start: Quick Compose for fast text-focused messages, Smart Builder (Design, Code or Plain Text editor), or Select Template from your saved templates and the template library.
• Automatic pre-send filtering: invalid, unsubscribed and do-not-disturb contacts are removed before sending. A summary shows how many were selected, how many were filtered and the final recipient count.
• Additional settings: Track Clicks, UTM Tracking and Add Tags to label contacts by engagement.
• Labels follow your setup: if your account renames the contact object to something like Clients, the dialog shows that name.

Sending steps

1. Go to Contacts > Smart Lists.
2. Select contacts or a smart list.
3. Click Send Email in the bulk actions toolbar.
4. Choose a creation mode and write the email.
5. Review the recipient summary.
6. Enter a test address and click Send Test Mail.
7. Click Review Campaign.
8. Choose a send mode and click Send Email.

Send modes

• Send All at Once goes out immediately.
• Send at Scheduled Time goes out on the date you set.
• Send in Drip Mode releases the email in batches.

Smart list contacts are captured at the moment you schedule, not when the email is sent.

Viewing results

Use Show Stats for quick figures, or open Marketing > Emails > Statistics for opens, clicks and bounces across campaigns, workflows and bulk sends.

Good to know: Send the test first. A two-minute check beats sending a broken message to hundreds of people.
