Overview
ResultsVault integrates with a sophisticated newsletter creation and management interface - SendGrid - to provide the ability to send Newsletters (know within SendGrid as 'Marketing Emails') to large numbers of recipients.
Email addresses from Person Filters are automatically synchronized into a SendGrid Recipient List.
Further information on the SendGrid features can be found here.
Please contact support for more information about associated costs.
Accounts can be set up either:
- with a recurring monthly fee which give a certain number of emails per month - this is typically used by larger organisations
- via a pre-paid system where an organisation purchases a number of 'credits' which can then be used as required to send emails - this is ideal for smaller organisations
Setup
Please contact support for initial setup with SendGrid.
After initial setup has been completed, accessing SengGrid for the first time would require verification of Account Details and Sender Address within the SendGrid system.
Things to avoid within SendGrid
- Changing your username and/or password within SendGrid (Account Settings screen): This prevents integration with ResultsVault and may suspend your account.
- Changing the name of a Synchronized Recipient List. These lists are designated with [RV_SYNC] in their titles. Note - if a person filter is renamed, the synchronization will break, in this case it can be restored by renaming the Recipient List within SendGrid accordingly. If synchronization is broken a person filter can be re-synchronized, however this will create a new Recipient List.
