Email lists are groupings of individual email addresses, and are used to send email messages to groups of users. Any user with Create or Admin permission can create an unlimited number of email lists. All email lists are visible only to the user who create the list and to individuals with Admin rights.
After creating an email list, individual email addresses can be imported by using the import functionality. To do so, simply paste your email addresses into the large text box, with one email address on each line. In addition to the email address, each entry may, optionally, contain the first name, last name, and a field of custom data of your choosing. The acceptable format for each line is as follows:
Email Address, First Name, Last Name, Custom Data
Each field must be separated by a comma, and each entry must be on its own line. If you wish to omit any intermediate fields, you must insert a comma as a placeholder. The following examples all show valid entries:
bgates@microsoft.com,Bill,Gates,CEO
info@classapps.com
john_smith@hotmail.com,John,Smith
fred_jones,,,Accountant
The following entries are incorrect because the omitted intermediary fields are not represented by commas:
john_smith@hotmail.com,Smith
fred_jones,Accountant
Note that both of these entries are technically correct, since data can be imported in this format. However, since the fields of data are in the wrong place, the wrong data will be displayed in the email messages.
From the main list of email lists, email addresses can be exported from any email list using the export functionality. Also from the list, all email addresses within a list can be viewed and managed, and the history of messages sent can also be viewed. In the message history page, the list of all emails and current response status can also be viewed.
