Create a mailing list¶
A mailing list is a group of contacts you can send one email to in a single step. You can build lists from your Google Contacts, add addresses by hand, or import a file.
Step 1: Open your lists¶
From Flashissue in Gmail, select Lists.
Step 2: Create a new list¶
Click New List and give the list a name. To add contacts to a list you already have, open it and go to Step 3.
Step 3: Add contacts¶
- Open the list and click Add Contacts.
- In the dialog, tick the contacts you want to add.
- Click Add.
You can also type in addresses yourself or import a CSV file. See Import a list (CSV / Google Contacts).
Step 4: Remove contacts¶
Open the list, tick the contacts you want to remove, then click Remove Contacts.
Good to know¶
- Only send to people who have agreed to hear from you. Purchased lists cause bounces and spam reports and can get your account suspended.
- People who unsubscribed from your emails stay suppressed and won't be emailed again, even if you add them back to a list.
- On a Team plan you can share a list with your teammates. See Share a mailing list with teammates.
