Sending Email To Your Lists

For a quick summary on how to send email to your lists, click the following how-to video:

• Sending To A Single List
• Sending To Multiple Lists
• Copying the List Address
• To: field vs. Cc: and Bcc:

Sending To A Single List

1. Click into Manage Lists (top header).
2. On the All Lists page, click into the list you're sending to.
3. Click the Email List button at the top of the page.

A pop-up window will then generate where, if desired, you can change the Send As value (click the dropdown to the right) or include a mail merge tag. 

Click Open new email to open a new email in your mail client. The To: field will be pre-populated with the address of your list. All you have to do is compose your email and send.

Alternately, if you already have your mail client open (with a composed email ready to send), you can click Copy email to clipboard instead of Open new email, then paste into the To: field of your email to populate the address of your list.

Note that when the list address is entered in the "To:" field of your email, each subscriber on your list will only see their own address in the "To:" field in the copy they receive. They are unaware that they are part of a Street Contxt distribution list.

Sending To Multiple Lists

You can send to multiple lists at once by selecting them on the All Lists page (under Manage Lists), then clicking the Draft Email button that will appear at the top of the table. 

The same pop-up window will open with each list populated in the To: field.

Note that when the list addresses are entered in the "To:" field of your email, each subscriber on the lists will only see their own address in the "To:" field in the copy they receive. They are unaware that they are part of a Street Contxt distribution list.

Copying the List Address

An alternate way to send your email is, if you already have your mail client open with a composed email ready to send, click Copy email to clipboard in the draft window instead of Open new email, then paste into the To: field of your email to populate the address of your list.

Here's a quick how-to video showing how to obtain/copy the list address:

To: field vs. Cc: and Bcc:

Note that when you paste the list address in the "To:" field of your email, the subscribers on your list(s) only see their own address in the "To:" field in the copy they receive. They are unaware that they are part of a Street Contxt distribution list.

• If you enter the list address in the "Cc:" field of your email, the subscribers WILL see the list address ("@yourcompany.streetcontxt.net") in that field (you will likely want to avoid entering the address there). However, they won't be able to identify any of the other subscribers on the list.
• If you enter the list address in the "Bcc:" field, the subscribers will not see any address in that field, as would normally be the case.
• If, in addition to the list address, you add any external email addresses the To:, Cc: or Bcc: fields, those external recipients will see the list address  in the To: field. They won't be able to identify any of the subscribers on the list.

After sending your email, you can track the engagement data recorded from your contacts in real-time on your dashboard. From there, you can obtain deeper insights into how your contacts are engaging with it.

**NOTE: instead of sending to an entire list, you can send a one-time email to select group of contacts by following the steps detailed here.
