Action Scheduler

Overview

• The Action Scheduler allows Administrators to schedule a Call, Correspondence or Email Action for all of the Contacts in a Contact Group.
• Users must have the "Contact Tools" Permission to use the Action Scheduler.
• Action Scheduler - Group Emails
  • The Action Scheduler allows Users to schedule bulk emails for Contact Groups.
  • Each Contact may Unsubscribe their email address if desired. An Unsubscribe link will be appended to the bottom of each email message.
  • Users also have the ability to tell if the images in HTML email messages are downloaded. A tracking image is included in each email to help give Users an idea of the open-rate of their HTML emails.
  • The Action Scheduler may only be accessed by Users with the "Contact Tools" Permission.
  • Following is a summary of the cost that will be charged per bulk email scheduled by the Action Scheduler. This fee only applies to emails sent by the Action Scheduler to Contact Groups, not emails sent to individual Contacts manually or through Action Cycles. These fees are billed monthly and will be included in your subscription bill.
