Chaos Intellect is great for sending emails out to groups of people, whether as BCC blind copies or as mail-merge recipients. With our powerful contact management to back it up, you can bring that power to bear on your emails by creating distribution lists.
Our contact database as two ways to organize your names: Groups and Categories. If you have taken advantage of this power, you can quickly find all the contacts in a group or category as a target for your email messages as well.
What if you have names to send to that you want even quicker access to or maybe have a list of email addresses for people who are not in your contact list? Intellect has a solution for that, too.
Did you notice that at the far right of these recipient fields, there is a tiny button? If you fill out the box with email recipients and click this button, you'll get to save this list as a Distribution List you can use again later. Once saved, you use it just by typing the name of distribution list into the recipient box as if it were a name or email address. When you type, it brings up names and email addresses that seem to match what you are typing and any distribution lists you saved will show up here, too.
You can also use this button at the end of the Recipients fields to delete lists you no longer use or to update or replace previous lists you saved.
Here is a video from our Chaos University video series that shows how this feature works. This video also shows other ways to select recipients for messages first including using groups and category filtering in the contact list, but the last example in this video also shows how to save and use distribution lists.
