Some of my current group are members are current moderators. ?Some have settings for delivery that match groups.io settings. ?I hope I can migrate the settings. Can I?Kinda. You can set email delivery at the time of Direct Add by appending the single word digest, summary or nomail after each entry. See attached screenshot. If you leave the delivery option blank, new subscribers will be assigned whatever is established in your group's Default Sub Settings (click the button at top of your Settings page). If appending the word is clumsy and hard to automate, you can change your group's Default Sub Settings to digest and add all your digest members, then change the default to individual emails and add all those people, etc. There is no way to similarly set a member's Role field. Subscribers will have to be promoted to Moderator after they've been added. Bruce |

I understand the limit. ?I have cleaned my member list 2 ways. (And this was important for me as my Yahoo Group is older and was likely to have a good number of old addresses). ?First, I ran it thru ZeroBounce.net and about 25% showed as bad addresses; I removed those. ?Then I sent out a Mailchimp email to all the remaining members, a migration letter. It told them about the move, logistic and why we were moving. 9% bounced here and they were removed. ?I expect a very clean upload. ?(Any way we can forward this info to the folks who check my list and decide the delay or not.)

Alter it back later after all is complete. That is viewable by everyone, member or not. Edit in Admin, Settings. Frances ? -- Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

Paul,
I expect a very clean upload. (Any way we can forward this info toI think you've already done far more than was necessary, given that Groups.io's bounce tracking would have been able to identify the bad addresses for you.* I'm not sure what exactly the review is looking at (and that's probably deliberate) but I suspect that a check for bouncing addresses would not be part of it. Most likely a list of 600 won't be a problem - I've done up to 350 in some of my own groups and I'm sure others here have direct added far more in one go. In ordinary times the delay hasn't been more than a few business hours, but in these times of distraction it could take longer.

I found that the bounce (or not) of the "You have been added" notice itself was by far the easiest way to detect typos. -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |
