Create a mailing list from a target group or delete recipients

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Sometimes you may want to create a mailing list from the recipients of a particular target group. All operations may also be done using existing mailing lists and target groups. It is, however, easier to handle a mailing list. Additionally, the creation of a mailing list for complex target groups leads to considerably faster loading times.

To convert a target group into a mailing list, proceed as follows:

1.Click on the Target groups button, then on the Overview sub-menu. Click on the required target groups in the right-hand contents area.
2.When viewing target group details, at the bottom right you will find a link entitled Create mailing list from this target group. Click on the link. The OpenEMM asks you for confirmation; click on OK.

3.As soon as you have confirmed the request, the system will display the entry dialog for a new mailing list. Fill in all fields as described in chapter "Creating a mailing list" and confirm by clicking on Save.

You now have a new mailing list. Moreover, the system has marked all recipients of the new mailing list as subscribers. Without converting a target group, you would have had to select all recipients individually as subscribers.

Sometimes recipients of a certain target group are not interesting for any further email-marketing actions. In this case, click on Delete recipients of this target group. All recipients of this target group are erased completely from the database.

Please note: The recipients can not be restored!
