Creating automated subscription groups

An automated subscription group is an address group that allows people to subscribe or unsubscribe themselves using a web page. When someone subscribes, their name and address will automatically appear in your address list. When someone unsubscribes, their name and address will automatically be removed from the list.

This feature is available only to Direct Mail Pro users.

To create an automated subscription group:

Step 1

Choose Addresses > New Subscription Group...

Step 2

Type the name of the subscription group and a brief description of whom the group is for. This information will appear on the web page that people will use to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the group.

Step 3

Type the name, email address, and postal address of the "owner" of the group (i.e. who maintains the group). The name and email address will appear on the web page that people will use to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the group. Postal address is not shown, but should be included in outgoing emails as per the United States CAN-SPAM act.

Step 4

Click OK.

To edit group information, or to view the URL for the subscribe/unsubscribe web page, double-click the group's icon.
