Steps


Open the Contacts (Voters/Donors) list.



Navigate to General > Email Links.



Here you can select from the e-mail campaign(s) you’ve sent in the past.  Check of the box(s) for the ones you want to search by, and click [Search].


In my example I selected a campaign called ‘Asking Matters’ that was sent to 5,906 people.  You can filter this search further by only going after people who opened, did not open, or clicked on certain links in the eblast(s) you’ve sent previously.

Once you’ve run your search query to pull up people who received a previous email, click File > Utilities > Create Mass Email…



Give the email campaign a name and click [OK]If you leave the defaults as is it will send to everyone in the current list that has an email that’s subscribed and enabled.



Verify the final recipient count is close to what the query results were, and then click [OK]If it’s substantially less you’ll need to put in a request to support that your emails get enabled for mass email, this is common if you’ve recently imported email lists.



The email composer will open.  Create a new email, insert a standard template to start with, or use one of your own saved templatesMy example is below.



Click [Test] in the bottom-right and send some tests to your ‘testers’ until you’re satisfied.  Then click [Send] and schedule the eblast.


After the email goes out you can analyze the stats by searching the Campaigns list.
