Here, we discuss the advanced email settings, which mostly involves email notification settings. These are emails you receive from the VipeCloud system to notify you of certain actions that have taken place with your emails. These include email open alerts and link clicks.

hello vipers let's talk about managing
0:03
your email engagement notifications so
0:06
these are going to be the emails that
0:08
you get from by cloud from the system as
0:12
a notification of some action that
0:15
somebody has taken with one of your
0:17
emails and so to get started with that
0:20
you start in this setup page and then go
0:23
down to your email settings and then
0:28
we're gonna scroll down here to these
0:29
advanced email settings and let's go
0:34
down these so this one isn't really
0:36
related to the notifications but might
0:38
as well tackle it while we're here this
0:40
is the default mass email type which
0:43
will if you're an enterprise user you
0:45
can choose between batch email and
0:47
advanced mass email which is of one per
0:50
minute drip of emails then when we go
0:55
down here we got email open tracking and
0:58
so this is a pretty self-explanatory
1:02
this is a matter of having the email or
1:06
having the system track when people are
1:08
opening their emails and you can
1:10
basically just opt out of having email
1:12
open tracking being something that is
1:16
enabled when you're sending emails out
1:19
then you've got the alerts so these are
1:22
gonna be you can see you can switch from
1:23
having no email alerts to single mass or
1:27
single and mass emails the reason that
1:30
you might decide and not go with this
1:33
you know because it at first I might
1:35
think okay the more data the better but
1:37
if you think about it if you're sending
1:39
out a mass email to a thousand people it
1:41
would get it you could get pretty
1:43
overwhelming if you know 10 percent of
1:45
them open up those emails then you as a
1:46
result get a hundred email notifications
1:49
so that's why the default is to just
1:51
have single emails and then most users
1:54
will just opt to either base we have
1:56
single emails or have no email open
1:58
alerts because after all the tracking
2:01
will still be enabled if you have this
2:03
setting right here enabled so you'll be
2:05
able to just refer to the system to see
2:07
what you keep emails people have them
2:10
having to open this email click tracking
2:13
this is for the links themselves in the
2:16
emails that you send so you can opt to
2:18
have email link click tracking disabled
2:21
this one I think would make more sense
2:24
to have disabled then email open
2:26
tracking and the reason for that is
2:28
because people who are more savvy users
2:32
might be able to see that an email link
2:34
is a tracking link the way that they
2:37
know that is because when they mouse
2:39
over it they'll see that it is a that it
2:43
isn't just a plain URL but that it has a
2:46
whole bunch of code in it as well and
2:48
that it's like our you know we've a
2:51
redirecting link basically so you can
2:54
choose to have that disabled or where
2:56
you could also do to get around that and
2:58
have it both ways is that sometimes you
3:00
just don't actually use like in here
3:02
I'll show you when you you know if
3:07
you're gonna send somebody to by cloud
3:08
comm if you want to track it you click
3:11
on this right here and then you you use
3:12
this tool to build it as opposed to just
3:15
putting in just typing it in and you can
3:18
just do it that way and I won't that
3:20
won't be trackable I'll just uh you know
3:22
it's also to highlight it and go that
3:23
way so that that's a workaround there to
3:25
have it both ways and then the click
3:27
alerts work exactly the same way as the
3:29
email open alerts so you can choose to
3:33
or actually they don't work exactly the
3:36
same way so you can you can choose have
3:39
no click alerts or you can also then
3:42
choose to have first time I click or
3:45
every time they click you know so if it
3:48
gets a little overwhelming you have
3:49
people who are reopening your emails
3:51
multiple times they're clicking it every
3:52
single time then you can just have it be
3:54
the first time they click and and then
3:57
that way you know again it'll still be
3:59
tracked but you won't get an email every
4:01
single time it happens and then here
4:04
we've got the scheduled email sent alert
4:07
and this is basically just a reminder
4:08
that the system will send to you to let
4:10
you know that an email that you
4:12
scheduled has been sent I found this can
4:14
be a helpful thing to have because
4:16
sometimes it can be easy to forget that
4:17
you've done that you've set up a
4:19
scheduled email and then here we've got
4:22
the advanced mass email daily limit so
4:25
if you aren't an enterprise user you can
4:26
end the video right now
4:28
but this is basically it's like a sort
4:31
of a fail-safe in the system to help
4:34
ensure that you don't accidentally wind
4:36
up sending way more email volume than
4:41
you would like to a use case where this
4:44
can be particularly helpful is if you
4:47
set up email series and also have them
4:52
set up as advanced mass emails because
4:55
that can start to have a bit of a
4:57
snowballing effect where you have as you
5:01
launch new advanced mass email series
5:05
and maybe it's let's say it's like a
5:07
five step series where you have five
5:09
different advanced maths emailers that
5:11
start to like you know layer up on top
5:13
of each other as you continue to add to
5:15
the top of that that pipeline basically
5:19
eventually by the time you've got all
5:23
different steps that are all active and
5:25
if you're sending to large lists these
5:28
can start to send tons and tons of
5:30
emails and if you have a URL that
5:32
ordered own domain I should say that
5:34
isn't really well warmed up you know
5:38
this can start to look like spammy
5:39
behavior and so you can instead of
5:41
having to do the math and calculate how
5:43
it was just gonna add up to you can
5:45
instead just today a daily limit and
5:48
what that'll do is it'll just pause
5:49
everything and then restarted tomorrow /
5:52
you're the schedule that you have set up
5:54
for your advanced mass emails so this is
5:57
a way of just avoiding any kind of
5:59
calculations and you can just set it up
6:01
here what's important though is to
6:03
remember that you set this up in the
6:05
first place because that can also make
6:09
me surprise you down the line if you
6:10
forget that you've set this up to a
6:12
certain degree and then you try to send
6:14
out a large advance fast email and you
6:17
set the schedule so that it's wide open
6:21
this time I'm surprised people they
6:23
forget that it's there so I hope that
6:25
was helpful if you have any questions
6:26
about any of this
6:27
by all means reach out we'll be happy to
6:29
