How do I send the same e-mail to several readers at once (e-mailing or newsletter) ?

You would like to send an e-mail to several readers at once, for instance in order to inform them about your new acquisitions or to invite them to an event ? The software contains a function for that.

Several conditions must be met in order to send e-mails :

• The software must be set up in order to send e-mails 
• You must enter the mail address in the readers’ records

This is how you send an e-mailing :

1. In the Addresses file, choose the readers you’d like to send an e-mail to.
2. Call the File>Print command and choose the Emailing template.
3. Click on the Options button and define in the options dialog the several parameters : e-mail account for sending the e-mails, title and text  (you can customise the e-mail by inserting fields from the addresses file) and a possible attachment.
4. Save these settings, then click on the Print button.
5. The software sends an e-mail to each selected address record. If some records don’t have an e-mail address, you get a warning.

If you plan to regularly send the same e-mail, you can duplicate the Emailing template, set up and use the new format several times.

Notice : an alternative is to send your mail with your e-mail application and to transfer your e-mail addresses from BiblioMaker to this application. Please read this article .
