A common error is to create a list for each email campaign. Please note that creating a new list each time is time-consuming for you and potentially dangerous as the platform in this way does not recognize unsubscribed. |
Managing Recipient Groups
...
To add a new group, go to Recipients > Groups, click on the New Group button in the bottom right corner. A pop-up form will ask you to insert the Group name and internal notes to better identify the group.

Viewing recipients in a Group
To rename, empty, or delete a group, go to the Recipient > Manage groups, click on the Groups tab and click on the Action Click on the Actions menu on the right .
- Click Rename group to rename the group
- Click Edit recipients to view and edit recipients currently assigned to the group (see the next section)
- Click Empty group to remove all recipients from the group. Those recipients' subscription preference is not changed. What's modified is simply their assignment to the selected group: they will no longer be assigned to that group.
- Click on Delete group to delete the group.
At the bottom of the page there are additional actions that you can perform when one or more groups are selected using the check boxes on the left side of the page.
Select the groups that you wish to work with, and then:
- Click on Delete group to delete the selected groups: recipients are not affected, other than the fact that they will no longer be assigned to that group, since it is being deleted.
- Click on Delete recipients to completely remove from the system the recipients that are currently assigned to the group. Make sure you understand the difference between unsubscribing and deleting a recipient. Typically, you will want to unsubscribe, rather than delete a recipient.
- Click on Delete group and recipients to delete both the selected groups and all the recipients currently assigned to them. Once again, make sure you understand the difference between deleting and unsubscribing a recipient.
- Click on Empty group to remove all recipients from the selected groups. Those recipients' subscription preference is not changed. What's modified is simply their assignment to the selected groups: they will no longer be assigned to that group.

Important to note, this area does not allow you to Remove a recipient from the group but only Edit the recipient data, Delete or Unsubscribe them. If you unsubscribe them, they are not removed from the group or master List, but only changes the status to Unsubscribed. This status will change across multiple groups AND at the List level. So, be sure you want to unsubscribe them from all groups, and not just remove them! To Remove or Add a recipient from/to a group, you must go to the Modify Group Assignments tab. |
