Can I send Renewal Notices with GroupMail ?
Certainly, using the GroupMail Auto Responder you can send Renewal Notices “Before” an Expiry Date or on the “”Anniversary” of an Expiry Date.
When creating your GroupMail Group, remember to add a “Date Field” to store this Renewal Date for each recipient.
In this example we have added a field called “Expiry” to store the Renewal Date.
This will allow you enter the recipients Expiry Date.
Once you have your Group created and all the recipients added or Imported including their Expiry Dates, you simply need to configure the GroupMail Auto Responder.
To launch the GroupMail Autoresponder, click on the Autoresponder button in the toolbar.
Click New to create a new automatic email campaign.
Enter a name for your campaign, select the group you want to send the Renewal Notices to and Click to create the Message you want to send.
To create your Renewal Notice Message click on ‘New Message’.
Save the Message and close the Message Editor.
Press Ok.
There are two options you can choose from:
Option 1 – Send a Renewal Notice “Before” the Expiry Date.
Here you can specify the number of DaysWeeks before the Expiry Date to send the Renewal Message.
From the drop down list of fields available in your Group select the Field that stores the recipients ‘Expiry’ date.
Note : Do not check the option “Ignore the Year part of the Date field” if you want to send out expiry reminders before the expiry date.
You can also set it to “Repeat” so that it sends this message each year.
Option 2 – On the anniversary of a date.
From the drop down list of fields available in your Group select the Field that stores the recipients Renewal Date, in our example it is called “Expiry”
You can also set it to ‘Repeat Every Year’.
Press Ok to Save.
You can now see an Overview of your scheduled Renewal Notice Campaign. You can at any stage Modify, Delete or Create New Campaigns from this screen.
We will now process this Campaign to show how it works.
The [View History] Log will show you the date and time each message was sent and which addresses the message was sent to.
