Email in Bulk from a List |
Back Top Previous Next |
The bulk email function applies to cardfile, project, quote and job Lists. This makes it very easy to generate templated outbound emails.
When sending from a job or quote list, the emails will be automatically attached to the jobs or quotes in the list. This is a great feature that allows sending emails to a group based on products purchased, specific project types, and more.
It is advisable to set the Max. emails per minute to no more than 25 to ensure they are not seen as spam. On the ribbon, go to Tools > Options > Email to set this parameter.
In the Report section of the ribbon select Email from list (in this case Job), then select Preview.
