I have 200+ members in my group have renewed their membership? I would like to send a thank you message.? ?I have the email list of the renewing members.?
Is there a way I can? send? a message to all the members in the list? similar to the way we can invite new members.?

I know I select the members from the members list and send a messages to the selected, but searching and selecting 200+ email address is quite a job

This sounds like a vector for potential abuse UNLESS Groups.io vets the external list you mention against the subscribers to your group and only sends mail to those who are current subscribers. Unless vetting is included, a spammer could feed a mailing list to Groups.io and Groups.io would send their spam for them.

Jim,

Is there a way I can send a message to all the members in the list?
similar to the way we can invite new members.

There isn't, that I know of.

Well, a stupid way: create a subgroup for the renewed members and then paste the list into the Direct Add page (of the primary group), with that subgroup checked. The fact that they're already members of the primary group will get you an error notice for each, but they'll still be added to the subgroup and will receive the subgroup's Direct Add notice and/or Welcome notice.

If you had ongoing reason to message just the renewed members that method might not be too stupid. Also, it assumes the group is Premium.

I've done the opposite in my PTA group: a subgroup for just those members who *have not* renewed for the new school year. That lets me send them a few reminders as the final deadline approaches. For that purpose I deactivated the Direct Add and Welcome Messages of the subgroup.

I know I select the members from the members list and send a messages
to the selected, but searching and selecting 200+ email address is
quite a job...

That strikes me as a generally useful suggestion: a Bulk Select feature. That would select any members with addresses matching the list (and ignore or give harmless error messages for non-matches). Then you could use Send Message or any of the other Actions menu items.

It could replace the Bulk Remove function, since that's an available option. So maybe suggest it as a generalization of Bulk Remove rather than as a wholly new function.
