Manage Newsletter Subscribers
This guide shows how to create/import/manage contacts within Infomaniak's Newsletter subscriber lists.
Introduction
- Obtain explicit consent from your recipients via the double opt-in model (sending spam and using purchased/rented address lists are prohibited).
- Duplicates will be automatically removed.
- Importing does not send any message to the added contacts (so please read and accept the first point above).
Build a subscriber list
To access Newsletter subscriber management:
- Click here to access your product management on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the domain name assigned to the respective product.
- Click on Subscribers in the left sidebar menu.
- Click the blue button Add Contacts:
- Read and accept the terms and conditions.
- Choose from the different options to build a subscriber list:
A: Import a CSV file (.csv format) or a .txt file (predefined format)
The format must be respected (a downloadable template is available on the page). Maximum size: 300 MB
Once the spreadsheet document is written, export it as .csv, which will create a kind of text document with separators between each piece of information in the different cells:
Select the .csv file from the import interface, then click on the blue button Import:
Assign the desired field to the desired information (the information is grouped according to the original columns). It is possible to create fields that do not yet exist (the field type can be forced to numbers, date, boolean, etc.), and the same goes for the group in which to place the imported contacts:
That's it, whether under Groups or Subscribers, your import is visible:
B: Copy/paste the equivalent of a .csv or .txt (predefined format)
The format must be respected, e.g.:
anna.a@domain.xyz,Anna,Alpha,1985-08-20
alfred.a@domain.xyz,Alfred,Alpha
contact@domain.xyz,Support
mail@domain.xyz
Once this information is pasted into the designated field, click on the blue button Continue. The rest is the same as in point A above.
C: Filling out an individual contact form
Import contacts one by one using the proposed form. Add free fields (the field type can be forced to numbers, date, boolean, etc.) and groups, all of which will be available for subsequent additions (except in the example animation below since it loops on a single initial addition):
D: Automatic import from other Infomaniak tools
Import contacts from your Infomaniak address books and the Infomaniak ticketing tool if available (with the possibility of importing only users who have specified they want to receive a Newsletter).
