Mailing Lists: Keeping Your Organization and Participants Informed
Mailing lists are an effective way to communicate updates about current and upcoming events with your organization or event participants. Using filters in the People Admin area or an event’s Registration List, you can create targeted email lists that automatically update as participants' registration status or other factors change.
Types of Mailing Lists
There are two types of mailing lists: Respectful and Mandatory.
Respectful Mailing Lists
Respectful mailing lists are created in the People Admin area, excluding those based on membership or event filters. Emails sent to these lists will only reach players who have opted to "Stay Informed" in their Preferences and Privacy settings. These emails will include an Unsubscribe link in the footer.
Mandatory Mailing Lists
Mailing lists created for teams and events using the Registrants screen, event filters, or membership filters are considered mandatory. Emails sent to these lists will be delivered to all players, regardless of their email preferences.
Creating a Mailing List
To create a new mailing list:
- Navigate to the People Admin area or your event's Registration List.
- Use filters to select the group of people you want to email.
- Click the Email button at the top of the list
As new players meet your criteria, they will be automatically added to the list. Similarly, those who no longer match the criteria will be removed.
