Mass Email

Mass Email

Introductions

Communication is an important activity in any business scenario. One of the best ways of communicating is through email. Zoho Workerly provides the option of using email to reach a large number of Clients or Temps by sending mass emails. You can also create auto responders, schedule mass emails, and create email templates that are ready to use.
Note:
  1. The Mass Email feature is available only for the Temps and Contacts Module. In Zoho Workerly, you can send mass emails to customers with respect to your business requirements. For example, you can send new Job requirements, updates, or personalized follow-up email to the Temps in bulk. While sending mass emails to Temps or Contacts, you can choose a predefined template for the message from various email templates. Mass emails can be sent in the following ways:
  1. Sending Mass Emails manually
  2. Scheduling Mass Emails
  1. Before sending emails, ensure that the record contains a valid email address.
  2. Emails will not be delivered to the records with an invalid email address.

Benefits

  1. Save time in sending emails to an entire list of customers.
  2. Create new mailing lists based on business requirements.
  3. Schedule emails to send at a specific time, according to your convenience.
  4. Allow customers to subscribe or unsubscribe from the mailing list using Email opt-out.

Email Limits

In Zoho Workerly, you can send either bulk emails or individual emails. Following are the limits for sending emails based on your account's Edition.

For Individual Emails

The email limit for the organization will be calculated based on the total number of confirmed and active users in the account.
  1. In the Free Edition – 50 x total confirmed and active users (per day, per organization) for upto 4 users. For accounts with more than 4 users, the limit is 200 emails (per day, per organization). 12 AM to 11.59 PM GMT is considered as one day.
    For example, you have 2 active and confirmed users in your organization’s account. Then the total number of individual emails that a user can send per day, per organization will be up to 100 (50 x 2) emails. If you have 6 (or anything more than 4) active and confirmed users, then the total number of individual emails that can be sent will be 200, as that is the fixed limit for more than 4 users.
  2. In the Paid Editions – 300 x total confirmed and active users (per day, per organization). 12 AM to 11.59 PM GMT is considered as one day.
    For example, you have 5 active and confirmed users in your organization’s account. Then the total number of individual emails that a user can send per day, per organization will be up to 1500 (300 x 5) emails.
For Mass Emails
  1. You can send mass emails based on your Zoho Workerly Edition. 12 AM to 11.59 PM GMT is considered as one day, to calculate the email count.
  2. The mass emails per day, per company includes Autoresponders, active email Schedulers, Macros and Mass emails.
  3. You can also increase the mass email limit up to 2250 per day, per organization for an additional cost. Please write to us at support@zohocorp.com to increase your mass email limit.

Send Mass Emails

In Zoho Workerly, you can send mass emails to customers manually, by creating a new mailing list or by using an existing list. You can select the list of recipients in two ways:
  1. Instant Filter (creating New Custom View)
  2. Existing Custom View
Note:
  1. The Mass Email feature is available only in the Temps and Contacts modules. See Also Email Limits
  2. You need to create email templates before sending mass emails. See Also Email Templates
  3. Bounced email notifications for mass emails are not tracked in Zoho Workerly.
    However, if the user has configured Zoho Mail Add-on, notifications about bounced emails can be tracked only for individual emails (but not mass emails). The notifications are sent to the user's primary email address that has been configured.
