Direct Add limits
I just took over the administration?of a Yahoo Group and have had all the contents transferred into our new premium?account on GIO.? The Yahoo Group had a few hundred email addresses that were bouncing, I'm thinking mostly because no reset message had been sent. I am using the GIO direct add feature but when I go to look it up with GIO, I've found varying info about how many I can do in a day. 1) Is there a limit to how many members I can direct add? 2) I've done them in batches and customized the standard email that gets sent a little differently each time.? Is there a place I can see what the notice said exactly that was sent to a particular member? 3) Can I see if a particular subscriber was a result of the transfer from Yahoo or a direct add? and if so where? It seems I've read posts to this group that makes me think that is possible. 4) Once they are added, how do I check in GIO to see if they continue to bounce?

It shows something like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ Your Name <yourname@...> invited theirname@... to subscribe with message "THE ENTIRE MESSAGE APPEARS HERE" via web ------------------------------------------------------------ Can I see if a particular subscriber was a result of the transferYes, in the same place: Admin > Activity > search for member Samuel |

Suzanne H,
No, you may submit as many addresses as you like at once. However, if you submit more than 20 in a 24 hour period a temporary hold will be put on that batch, for review by Groups.io. You'll be notified by email when the batch is approved (this is an anti-spammer check).
There's a preview pane on the Direct Add page that shows the merged message, for what it is worth. What I do is include an alternate email address of mine in each batch, so I receive a copy to verify. Afterward I remove that alternate address from the group before the next batch.
One clue is if their Join date is prior to the date you created the Groups.io group. If you open the subscriber's page in the Members list you can click on the Activity History tab for that subscriber. The oldest entry would normally show how they joined, but if they were transferred there is no entry showing that. Hmm... maybe that should be a bug report.
In the Members list they'll have Bouncing or Bounced badges next to their email address. Also, they'll appear in the Bouncing view of the Members page. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

What Frances said. The customized message appears at the top of the page prior to sending. It also appears as an entry in the activity log, but without formatting. Click open that person's record in the Member List and then the button at the top that says Activity History. If you added them, the oldest entry in their record will say that.? Adding someone by transfer does not generate an intelligible log entry, or at least it didn't when I did my transfer two years ago. They will show up in the Bouncing view of the Member List. Virtually every one of them will probably do exactly that.? Bruce |
Frances,
?
The transfer process does not bring over the yahoo members that are bouncing.? Since I was not responsible for maintaining the Yahoo members, I have no idea of how many of the addresses bouncing in Yahoo had temporary problems and may still be legit.? So I'm direct adding them and figure I'll sort out the bouncing on GIO.? Though I did not read the wiki link you sent me until just now, that is the process I followed (using concat Excel function) with the exception that I just pasted the cells into the direct add box, I didn't create a text file first.? I looks like it worked okay.?? |
