Creating a Contact List

A Contact List is a collection of subscribers within Toolkit Broadcast allowing you to organise your subscribers into groups. Your outgoing emails can then be directed and tailored towards certain groups to get the best results.


To create a new Contact lists, follow the guide below:

Before sending your first campaign, you must have at least one active list with at least one valid recipient.

The Contact Lists tab will show you the number of active lists, subscribers, the number of emails sent and the engagement percentage.

To create a new contact list, click on the Create Contact List button on the left.



This will open a pop-up window where you can give your contact list a name, specify a Sender Name (who the users will see the emails are coming from) and a Sender Email (also your reply-to email address). Click on Create to complete the process.



To add recipients to your new list

Immediately after the creation of your list you can start adding contacts by clicking on Add contacts on the left hand menu.

You will be asked to confirm that you have permission from the recipient(s) to add them to your list. It is important that you understand CakeMail abides by anti-spam laws and we do not tolerate any form of spamming.

Click on the checkbox and go to the next step.

If you already have a CSV with your contacts ready, select the From a CSV File option from the ones listed available.

Click on Choose File to browse your computer.

You will be alerted once the process is complete. Once it is done, you will be able to see your new contacts under the active subscribers list.
