Get Started With Email Marketing

hello vipers let's talk about how to

send a mass email using pipe cloud

so what you'll want to do is go to your

contact

list because this is going to be kind of

your home base for for sending

mass emails because after all a mass

email

is an email that's going to a list of

your contacts

and so you'll want to have your contact

list

built out so that everybody you want to

send to is in that contact list

and then come to this page right here

for contact lists

choose the contact list that you are

going to be looking to send to

and uh and then you can trigger it from

this uh this button over here with the

three dots

so you can click on that so you'll see

there's a whole bunch of options here

to to interact with this contact list

and you'll want to send email

and then here's where you ready

your your mass email and you can

basically just kind of uh

work from the top down here uh you'll

see kind of a summary of the name of

this contact looks that you're sending

to

how many co and how many contacts are

are in it you can choose an

email template to uh to send to this

list

although as you can see that's only

optional or

yes it's merely optional and you can

actually just craft a one-off

message to send to these people from

right here

so for this purpose we're going to

choose a a template

and and then you can add preview text

here if you like which will be

the text that people will see as like a

before they click in their inbox before

they click on the email

you usually see a little preview in

there of what is contained in there so

you can adjust that here

which might be particularly helpful if

you're sending an html template like

this

because generally it's gonna uh if you

don't put any preview text in there it

will just uh

start from whatever is first

uh and then uh so then you can go in

here even if it's an html template you

can still edit it

so

so you can you can make an edit here

it's worth noting that any changes that

you make here will not be saved to the

template

so that can certainly be a very useful

thing if you just want to do a one-off

edit

of a particular template that you are

using

however we would strongly advise that

you don't

make any major changes that you'll

actually want to use going forward

because it would be much more efficient

just to

go to your templates edit it there save

it

and then just pull it up here once

that's good to go

so now down here you'll see that there

are some options here for the kind of

mass email that you can send so we've

got advanced mass emails here which is a

feature

that uh our enterprise users have

and what that does is it instead of

sending

all of the emails all at once it'll

actually send them just one per minute

instead and the idea there is that it

will

it aims to make it appear more like a

standard just

one-on-one email to to the recipient

servers

and so the goal is to have it be

more deliverable and to also

uh have the email hopefully arrive in

the

actual inbox of the recipient as opposed

to like in their promotions tab or

something

like that uh so if you aren't an

enterprise user then uh

or i should say like all all vip cloud

users have

batch mask emails available to them and

so what that will do is it'll just

it'll run from the top of the list to

the bottom as quickly as it can

it's like a standard mass email

i should also mention that you don't

have to worry too much about

accidentally clicking this because if

you do

it'll confirm that you actually want to

send a mass email

before it sends it off

and then over here you can schedule your

email

and so that way you can get it

prepared and schedule it for some time

in the future

uh so it's a convenient option uh so you

don't have to always

send it uh live essentially

and then we also highly highly recommend

that you send a test to yourself before

you

send a mass email you know

and i would also advise that you check

what it looks like in as many different

places as possible so you can check what

it looks like

on your desktop check what it looks like

on on a cell phone

uh maybe even also see what it looks

like in outlook versus in gmail

because all these different formats can

have a different appearance and you

don't want any surprises there

and then lastly lastly we've got a spam

check here as well

which will just help with um what

happens you you click on that

and a couple minutes later you will get

a report emailed to you

and that will uh have the results of

just checking for certain kinds of uh of

mistakes that can make an

email appear uh like spam you know

things like

too many all caps exclamation points

too many links a whole bunch of things

like that uh you can

you can check for that right here and

then so once you've

sent your massive email you'll want to

go over

here emails mass

and so this is where you can see the

performance of all the mass emails that

you've sent

you'll see a row for each mass email if

it's an advanced mass email

you'll see the status right there of how

many have been sent

versus you know how many uh are on the

total list

you'll see your list size here how many

emails have been delivered

how many unique opens there have been so

what that means is that

if one person opens it multiple times it

will not be counted multiple times

and you'll see how many clicks on the

links you've your email received

how many people replied to your email

that will

apply only if your inbox is synced to

vip cloud by the way

and then you'll also see how many issues

there were so

issues meaning things like bounces and

unsubscribes and

things along those lines and so all of

these are

you can you can drill down into into all

of these

and see uh you know contact by contact

uh you know what what the results are

there

and and those are the basics so if you

have any questions at all

about sending mass emails don't hesitate

to reach out

we're happy to help
