Sending the E-mail Blast


Introduction

The E-mail Blast module allows you to perform massive emailing and compile statistics for each mailing made (number of emails sent, opened, rejected, etc.), in order to evaluate the efficiency of the mailings. A reject management is also integrated to avoid problems with spam. To learn how to view the mailing statistics, see this document. 


Moreover, Internet users can subscribe to distribution lists to receive the information emails that are of interest to them, from the organization's website. Following their subscription, they receive an automatic confirmation email, prepared for this purpose. 


Sending an E-mail Blast can be explained in three steps: You must first prepare the master document, then prepare the distribution list and send the E-mail Blast. 


The following document talks about the E-mail Blast. You must first prepare the master document and the distribution list prior to sending the E-mail Blast.

To learn how to prepare the master document, see this document. To learn how to prepare the distribution list, see this document. 


It is possible to send an E-mail Blast in two different ways in ProDon :


Creating a Mailing from a Permanent Distribution List 

To create an E-mail Blast from a permanent list, you must first create the master document and the distribution list. 

Go to the "E-mail Blast management".

To do so, from ProDon's home page, click on the "Mailings" menu, then select "E-mail Blast - Mailings".

D: The Button add plus.png button allows you to create a new mailing to add to the list at G. After clicking on the Button add plus.png button,this window opens. 

E: The Button Edit.png button allows you to modify a mailing of the list at G. To do so, select the mailing to modify at G, then click on the Button Edit.png button. After clicking on the Button Edit.png button,this window opens.

NOTE: This information is automatically entered when the mailing list is selected at C.

 F: Enter the subject of the E-mail Blast. 

G: If this option is checked, the statistics of clicks on the hyperlinks of the email will be compiled for this mailing. 

H: If this option is checked, the statistics of email opening will be compiled for this mailing. 

I: If this option is checked, an unsubscription link will be inserted in the E-mail Blast.

NOTE: It is not recommended to use this option, it is advisable to use a more precise link. For more details about the unsubscription link, see the "Formatting Rules" section of the "Preparing the Master Document" document. 

J: The "Message" tab allows you to choose which master document will be sent to the E-mail Blast. 

K: The "Subscriptions to lists" tab allows you to view the list of the clients registered to the list.

It is recommended to perform a test mailing prior to sending the E-mail Blast, in order to test all the hyperlinks and to see a preview of the E-mail Blast as it will be received. 

It is suggested to perform many test mailings with different addresses (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Outlook, etc.) before sending the E-mail Blast, in order to be sure of the different interpretations of inboxes. 

To test the email, first go to the "Mailing management".
