A new popup will open up.
Here you need to specify what type of group and the specifications oif the group which are described below.
Two types of groups exist: static contact groups and dynamic contact groups.
-
Static contact groups consist of individual contacts assigned to these groups.
-
Dynamic contact groups are composed by rules which select, each time again, the contacts that reply to these rules.
When you create a dynamic contact group, you create rules to select contacts. Each time you use a dynamic contact group, contacts are selected based on those rules.
Three special contact groups are by default in the contact groups overview:
-
The unsubscribers list contains all contacts that have unsubscribed and that will never receive any e-mail from your account again.
-
The reporting list contains all addresses to which the reporting e-mails are sent. You can create more reporting lists.
-
The test list contains all your test contacts. This contact group is used when you click the Test button in the Launch wizard. You can create more test lists. You will be able to choose to which test list you want to sent your test e-mail at the moment of testing.
