Mailing List¶

Introduction¶

The Mailing List is an opt in type, meaning that when someone adds their email address to the list, they are sent a confirmation email containing a link with an access code. Unless they click the link, their email address will not be added to the list. The opt-in link will expire in 48 hours. Conversely, when someone in your mailing list receives an email, there will be an “unsubscribe” link permitting them to remove themselves from the list.

To access the Mailing List-backed functions, go to Add- Ons ‣ Modules ‣ Mailing List in your Control Panel. There you will be able to create and manage your mailing lists, as well as find and delete email addresses. See Mailing List control panel for more information. To send email to any of your lists you will use the Control Panel Communicate Page.
