Field by Field Help - Bulk E-Mail Criteria screen

Template Id
Enter or select the template ID of the e-mail message you want to send.

Source
Choose a query type here. Whatever query type is chosen will be used during the building of the e-mail list. The program will run the query selected or created, and cross reference any matching records back to the particular customer or prospect and obtain the e-mail address on their record for list building purposes. See the IntelliQuery topic for more information on creating or selecting saved queries.

Prevent duplicate E-Mail addresses from being added
When checked, will check the list as it is being built and not allow e-mail duplications in the list to send.

Prevent invalid E-Mail addresses from being added
When checked, ManageMore will review e-mail addresses being added and reject those that are not valid e-mail addresses based upon factors such as not having an at sign ( @ ) in the email address, or not having a period after the at sign.

Prevent E-Mail addresses on "Do Not Send" list from being added
When checked, ManageMore will review e-mail addresses being added and reject those on do not send lists that match the e-mail template chosen at the top of the window.

Saving E-Mail Lists

When you have created an e-mail list that you want to save for future use, simply click on the Save List button on the top toolbar of the Bulk E-Mail window. The program will then prompt you to enter a filename for this list, and then to save the list. This list can then brought back up at any time when you are creating a new bulk e-mail list. This is especially useful when you have a newsletter or some other e-mail message you want to send on a regular basis. You need only select your criteria once, save the e-mail list and then just use the e-mail list again, rather than try to remember the criteria every time you want to send this message out.

Sending Bulk E-Mail

To send bulk e-mail, simply click on the send e-mail button. The program will then immediately begin sending the e-mails out, and your job is done! After the program has sent all of the e-mail, you can then click the second tab of the window to view any errors that occurred in sending the e-mail.

Q & A - Bulk E-Mail

Q01.   I always mail out a holiday sale flyer to my customers. Can I do this using bulk e-mail? How do I add the flyer to the email body?
A01.   You can do this with bulk e-mail by either creating a web page with your flyer on it, or by creating a file out of your flyer (PDF, HTML, etc.) and attaching it to your message. You can then create a link to your web page or copy the HTML code of this web page to your message when you create your bulk e-mail template.

Q02.   Will I be notified of e-mail addresses and accounts that have invalid or inactive e-mail addresses when I send my bulk e-mail?
A02.   Yes. After sending, click on the errors tab at the bottom of the window to view any problems with the bulk e-mail you sent.

Q03.   I would like to send an e-mail to all customers that are past due by 30 days, but I want to include specific information to each customer in each e-mail. Can I do this through bulk e-mail?
A03.   Yes, but when you create the bulk e-mail template, you must use the personal option so that specific fields can be read for each customer.

Q05.   I don't see my question here. Where else can I get information?
