New Feature: Use a Report to Create and Send to an Email List

We just launched a new feature that makes it easier to send Follow-Up Emails and create Email Lists from previous campaigns. In the past, to send an Email Campaign to recipients who responded to a previous campaign, users had to visit the EMAIL LISTS section. Here users had to write SQL in the Advanced Query Editor to create a list of recipients who opened, clicked or viewed a certain page from a  past email.  Now users can immediately create an Email List or send an Email Campaign from a report. JangoMail users can filter Opens, Clicks and Page Views reports down to any level to create an Email List or to immediately send an Email Campaign to the recipients in the report.

We have two new options in reporting that will pull the data in a report to:

1. Create an Email List
2. Send an Email Campaign to the email addresses in the report



These icons are available in our Opens, Clicks, and Page Views reports for our email broadcast campaigns.

Create an Email List from a Report
1. Go to Reports.
2. Pull up an Opens, Clicks, or Page Views Report by clicking on any number in those columns.
3. Use the Filter to narrow down your report to the recipients who you would like to add to your Email List. In this example, we are creating an Email List that includes recipients who clicked on a certain link.


4. Click on the Envelope Icon and select Create a List.


5. You might be asked to allow scripted windows. If not, proceed to step 6. Otherwise, click on the message on the top of the screen and chose to allow scripted windows. Then click on the Create a List link again.
6. There will be a short wait while JangoMail creates your Email List. When it is ready, it will appear in the section under the Lists tab.

Send an Email Campaign from a Report
1. Go to Reports.
2. Pull up an Opens, Clicks, or Page Views Report by clicking on any number in those columns.

3. Use the Filter to narrow down your report to include only the recipients who you would like to email. In this example, we will use a list that includes customers who clicked on a certain link.


4. Click on the Envelope icon and click Send Email.


5. In a few moments, JangoMail will upload an Email List from the report and direct you to the Messages Page so that you can begin composing your message.
