How to send an email blast to your customers
The maximum number of emails you can send per day
Sending an Email Blast
We have mentioned in previous lessons the importance of keeping a clean database of accounts and contacts . Another advantage of having a clean database is that you can send email blasts (a single email message to a list of contacts simultaneously) very quickly.
A few examples are: Your General Manager is hosting a holiday cocktail reception and you’d like to invite your top contacts, or your local contacts. Or, you want to fill the occupancy gaps in your hotel during the low season, and you’d like to send a sales offer via one blanket email.
Some Restrictions/Guidelines…
In Thynk you can perform email blasts without having to purchase expensive solutions, as long as you keep within these Salesforce guidelines/restrictions:
List emails can contain up to 32,000 characters for the body and 3,000 characters for the subject. These limits include visible characters and other characters in the email, including markup.
The maximum size of email messages for email services is 35 MB and includes the email header, subject, body, and attachments. Because attachments are sent as links, a large attachment doesn’t cause an email message to exceed these limits. You can manually select up to 200 contacts or leads from a contact or lead list view.
You can add up to 10 list views in the Recipients field.
List emails count against an org’s mass email daily send limit, which is typically 5,000 email recipients per day.
Best Practices for Sending Email Blasts
Salesforce has set limits as to how many characters the emails contain, and how many emails can be sent out from your org. But usually these limits are still okay for most needs
If you need to have email templates set up, please contact your Thynk Admin.
