7. Why are the emails in the follow-up series not being sent out to my contacts?
Answer: When you have a added a new contact to your contact list, the system immediately sends out the Opt-in email to the contact`s registered email address. That person then needs to approve the receiving of emails (from you) by clicking on the Approve Sending Me More Information link in that Opt-in email. Once the person opts in, he will be receiving an acknowledgement email immediately, thanking him for opting in to receive further emails. One-by-one, the emails in the follow-up series will be sent out to that contact (as set in your Campaign parameters). In short, unless the contact opts-in, none of the following emails will be sent out. This mandatory restriction is due to legislation on spamming in many countries. It lets the email provider (Google, Yahoo, etc) know that the emails sent by our system are safe. You can re-send the opt-in email from the Contact Manager. ^TOP |

8. How do I re-send the Opt-In Confirmation Email to my contacts?

Sign in to your SBD account and navigate to the Calls & Contacts > All Contacts / Search page from the left hand menu. 2. Search for the contact to whom you want to re-send the opt-in email and click on the name (link) to open it Contact Manager 3. Notice the `This person has not opted in to receive emails` message? Click on the Send Opt-in Email Again button next to that. The system will then immediately send out the Opt-In Confirmation Email to that person`s email ID and stamp a note at the bottom (for your reference). Once the contact opts in to receive further emails from you, the warning message at the top of the page will disappear and a confirmation note will be stamped at the bottom. Note: 1. Make sure that the email address of the contact is correct. Either way, the system will stamp a note below. 2. If possible, remind him to check his email inbox and ask him to click on the Approve Sending Me More Information link. ^TOP |
