Video Transcript<\/h3>\n

Welcome to another Two Minute Tuesday, Main Sequence\u2019s series of very short videos with tips, tricks, and tutorials to make you a more powerful PCRecruiter user.<\/p>\n

Nobody likes to be on the receiving end of unwanted emails, and depending on where you do business, it may even be illegal to send them. Fortunately, PCR can maintain a list of addresses that have been opted into or out of email sent from your PCRecruiter accounts, and can automatically filter your outgoing emails to comply with that list.<\/p>\n

PCR keeps this list in its own separate data table so that any email address that\u2019s been flagged doesn\u2019t receive your email, no matter which of your databases the mail is sent from. The email list is kept independent of your name records so that an email address can remain blocked even if the same address is on multiple contact records, or if you delete the name and re-add it later on.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s set it up.<\/p>\n

If no email blocking list has been set up on this account before, we need to tell the system which of our databases it can \u2018piggyback\u2019 the new data table onto. We\u2019ll go to the Email Setup area under System and choose \u201cEmail Opt-in\/Opt-out List\u201d. \u00a0Which database we choose to latch the new table onto isn\u2019t that important, but we want to make it\u2019s one we never plan to delete, so we\u2019ll just select the database we use most often and click Save.<\/p>\n

We can use the \u2018Add Email\u2019 and \u2018Import\u2019 options at the bottom of this window to manually add email addresses to this list. Clicking the \u2018Add to Rollup\u2019 option searches the database for names which contain emails found on this list and then adds the names to a rollup list for further modification or deletion. And we can come back to this area at any time to search, edit, or export the email addresses<\/p>\n

The next step is to configure the wording for your opt in and out links. We\u2019ll go to the Name Letters area under System and click on the configuration icon. The \u2018Opt Out Link Text\u2019 is the text of the clickable link as it will appear in your emails\u2026 for example \u201cclick here to stop further email communication\u201d. The confirmation text is the message presented to someone after they have successfully opted out\u2026 such as \u201cThank you. Your email address has been blocked from future emails.\u201d\u00a0 Similar messaging options appear for the \u2018Opt-in\u2019 links. You can set whether people who opt out will be blocked from receiving any emails, or just those emails sent to multiple recipients at once.<\/p>\n

The last step is to insert the link into your form letters wherever applicable. You\u2019ll find the opt-in and opt-out links in the Insert Fields list, and they work just like any other mail-merge field. In general, an opt-out link should be accompanied by your mailing address and phone number. Once someone clicks on the link, their email address will be automatically added to the list under the System area.<\/p>\n

As always, Main Sequence recommends that PCRecruiter users check with legal counsel or local authorities about how best to comply with the laws for sending email in their area.<\/p>\n
