hello vipers let's talk about how to

0:03

send a mass email using pipe cloud

0:06

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

0:09

contact

0:09

list because this is going to be kind of

0:11

your home base for for sending

0:12

mass emails because after all a mass

0:15

email

0:16

is an email that's going to a list of

0:18

your contacts

0:20

and so you'll want to have your contact

0:22

list

0:23

built out so that everybody you want to

0:25

send to is in that contact list

0:28

and then come to this page right here

0:30

for contact lists

0:31

choose the contact list that you are

0:33

going to be looking to send to

0:35

and uh and then you can trigger it from

0:38

this uh this button over here with the

0:40

three dots

0:41

so you can click on that so you'll see

0:43

there's a whole bunch of options here

0:45

to to interact with this contact list

0:48

and you'll want to send email

0:52

and then here's where you ready

0:56

your your mass email and you can

0:58

basically just kind of uh

0:59

work from the top down here uh you'll

1:02

see kind of a summary of the name of

1:04

this contact looks that you're sending

1:05

to

1:05

how many co and how many contacts are

1:07

are in it you can choose an

1:09

email template to uh to send to this

1:13

list

1:13

although as you can see that's only

1:16

optional or

1:17

yes it's merely optional and you can

1:19

actually just craft a one-off

1:21

message to send to these people from

1:24

right here

1:25

so for this purpose we're going to

1:26

choose a a template

1:30

and and then you can add preview text

1:33

here if you like which will be

1:35

the text that people will see as like a

1:38

before they click in their inbox before

1:40

they click on the email

1:42

you usually see a little preview in

1:44

there of what is contained in there so

1:46

you can adjust that here

1:47

which might be particularly helpful if

1:49

you're sending an html template like

1:51

this

1:52

because generally it's gonna uh if you

1:55

don't put any preview text in there it

1:56

will just uh

1:57

start from whatever is first

2:01

uh and then uh so then you can go in

2:03

here even if it's an html template you

2:05

can still edit it

2:06

so

2:10

so you can you can make an edit here

2:13

it's worth noting that any changes that

2:16

you make here will not be saved to the

2:18

template

2:19

so that can certainly be a very useful

2:20

thing if you just want to do a one-off

2:22

edit

2:22

of a particular template that you are

2:24

using

2:25

however we would strongly advise that

2:28

you don't

2:29

make any major changes that you'll

2:31

actually want to use going forward

2:33

because it would be much more efficient

2:34

just to

2:35

go to your templates edit it there save

2:38

it

2:38

and then just pull it up here once

2:40

that's good to go

2:43

so now down here you'll see that there

2:45

are some options here for the kind of

2:48

mass email that you can send so we've

2:50

got advanced mass emails here which is a

2:52

feature

2:53

that uh our enterprise users have

2:57

and what that does is it instead of

2:59

sending

3:00

all of the emails all at once it'll

3:02

actually send them just one per minute

3:04

instead and the idea there is that it

3:07

will

3:08

it aims to make it appear more like a

3:10

standard just

3:11

one-on-one email to to the recipient

3:14

servers

3:15

and so the goal is to have it be

3:18

more deliverable and to also

3:22

uh have the email hopefully arrive in

3:24

the

3:25

actual inbox of the recipient as opposed

3:28

to like in their promotions tab or

3:29

something

3:30

like that uh so if you aren't an

3:33

enterprise user then uh

3:35

or i should say like all all vip cloud

3:38

users have

3:39

batch mask emails available to them and

3:41

so what that will do is it'll just

3:43

it'll run from the top of the list to

3:45

the bottom as quickly as it can

3:47

it's like a standard mass email

3:51

i should also mention that you don't

3:53

have to worry too much about

3:55

accidentally clicking this because if

3:56

you do

3:57

it'll confirm that you actually want to

3:59

send a mass email

4:00

before it sends it off

4:03

and then over here you can schedule your

4:06

email

4:07

and so that way you can get it

4:11

prepared and schedule it for some time

4:13

in the future

4:14

uh so it's a convenient option uh so you

4:17

don't have to always

4:19

send it uh live essentially

4:22

and then we also highly highly recommend

4:25

that you send a test to yourself before

4:28

you

4:28

send a mass email you know

4:31

and i would also advise that you check

4:35

what it looks like in as many different

4:37

places as possible so you can check what

4:39

it looks like

4:39

on your desktop check what it looks like

4:41

on on a cell phone

4:43

uh maybe even also see what it looks

4:44

like in outlook versus in gmail

4:47

because all these different formats can

4:51

have a different appearance and you

4:52

don't want any surprises there

4:54

and then lastly lastly we've got a spam

4:56

check here as well

4:58

which will just help with um what

5:01

happens you you click on that

5:03

and a couple minutes later you will get

5:04

a report emailed to you

5:06

and that will uh have the results of

5:10

just checking for certain kinds of uh of

5:13

mistakes that can make an

5:14

email appear uh like spam you know

5:18

things like

5:19

too many all caps exclamation points

5:22

too many links a whole bunch of things

5:23

like that uh you can

5:25

you can check for that right here and

5:28

then so once you've

5:29

sent your massive email you'll want to

5:31

go over

5:32

here emails mass

5:37

and so this is where you can see the

5:38

performance of all the mass emails that

5:40

you've sent

5:41

you'll see a row for each mass email if

5:44

it's an advanced mass email

5:46

you'll see the status right there of how

5:47

many have been sent

5:49

versus you know how many uh are on the

5:51

total list

5:53

you'll see your list size here how many

5:55

emails have been delivered

5:57

how many unique opens there have been so

5:59

what that means is that

6:01

if one person opens it multiple times it

6:03

will not be counted multiple times

6:07

and you'll see how many clicks on the

6:09

links you've your email received

6:12

how many people replied to your email

6:14

that will

6:15

apply only if your inbox is synced to

6:18

vip cloud by the way

6:20

and then you'll also see how many issues

6:22

there were so

6:23

issues meaning things like bounces and

6:25

unsubscribes and

6:27

things along those lines and so all of

6:29

these are

6:30

you can you can drill down into into all

6:33

of these

6:34

and see uh you know contact by contact

6:37

uh you know what what the results are

6:39

there

6:40

and and those are the basics so if you

6:42

have any questions at all

6:44

about sending mass emails don't hesitate

6:46

to reach out

6:47

we're happy to help
