Creating Distribution Lists from statistics
You can create Static or Dynamic Distribution Lists from statistics.
Before you begin
- To create a Distribution List from statistics, you need Distribution List Management rights and Write permissions for the destination Outbound E-mail Folder.
- To view Mailing statistics, you need Mailing Execution or Mailing Management rights and Read permissions for the Outbound E-mail Folder.
About this task
Distribution Lists created from statistics differ from other Distribution Lists in that they are based on Contact response criteria rather than Contact details criteria. For example, you will frequently want to create Distribution Lists based on whether respondents have read an e-mail or whether they have clicked a specific link in the e-mail.
You can create a Static or Dynamic Distribution List consisting of Contacts to whom a selected Mailing status applies which:
- includes all recipients in all Distribution Lists in a Mailing
- includes all recipients in a single Distribution List in a Mailing
- includes a manual selection (static) or filtered selection (dynamic) of the recipients in a single Distribution List in a Mailing
Procedure
Results
Outbound E-mail creates a Static or Dynamic Distribution List containing Contacts to whom a selected Mailing status applies, depending on your choices.
When you open the Distribution List, the General tab indicates that the Distribution List was created from statistics and on what Mailing and Mailing status it was based.
What to do next
You can edit the Distribution List to set Priority. For Dynamic Distribution Lists created from statistics, you can also define additional criteria. For example, to filter Contacts who have read an e-mail and who have indicated an interest in Sports cars (as defined in a Contact's Keywords).
