From now on, emails can be sent in bulk to defined recipient lists. Sending is handled asynchronously. This means you create a campaign, set the delivery time - and Starhunter automatically takes care of the sending. An active internet connection at the time of delivery is not required.

Notes on using the campaign fields

• Sender: The email address stored in your master data will be used. 
• Templates:The content of the selected template is copied into the subject and body. You can freely edit both fields. The original template remains unchanged and is used only as a reference. 
• Email selection: Defines which email address of a recipient is used if they have multiple addresses. You can choose between the first, the last, or an email address with a specific label. 
• Recipients by tags: Select tags to define the recipient group. The campaign will be sent to all contacts with the selected tag. You can also create new tags specifically for the campaign. Learn how to create new tags here: Using Tags in Starhunter : Starhunter 
• Additional individual recipients: Add individual recipients in addition to the tag selection. The campaign will then be sent both to all contacts with the selected tag and to all people listed here. 

To add additional recipients, first click “Select recipients.” 

A pop-up will then open showing all existing contacts. Using the quick search on the right-hand side, you can easily find relevant recipients and add them to the campaign.
