MailShot User Guide 3: The Group Page


This is where you create and manage your MailShot Groups.

Each Group appears as “Name (x of y)”, where y is the total number of contacts in the group, of which x are selected.

If the group appears in red text, MailShot has noticed an email address in that group that it can’t find in your address book. This may need updating,  or may simply be one you added manually.

To add a Group, tap “+”and choose a name. This will become the name of the group contact in your address book.

To change the name of a Group, tap “Edit” at the top right of the page, then select the name you want to change. Entering a new name for a group will also rename the MailShot contact in your address book.

To rearrange the display order of your Groups, tap “Edit” at the top right of the page, then use the three-line icons that appear on the right to drag the group to your desired position. Tap “Done” to leave edit mode.

To delete a Group, tap “Edit” at the top right of the page, then tap the “-” button that appears alongside the group you want to remove.  Tap “Delete” to confirm. Tap “Done” to leave edit mode.

TIP: You can also use the standard iOS shortcut to delete a group, just as you can in other apps. Swipe from left to right across the group you want to remove, then confirm by tapping the red button that appears.

To return to the title page tap “Home” on the menu bar.

    It would really help if you could copy a group, rename it as a new group and then edit it. That way you could creat subgroups from one large group without having to start at the beginning each time. I have some groups that include contacts that I don’t want included for some purposes, but there is no way to delete them for one mailing without having to re-input for another.

      Thanks Julie.

      You can do already do all this. Here’s how…

      Create a new group, then load up the contact MailShot created for the group you want to copy- This will let you add all or only some of the contacts from that group into your new one.

      You can read more about this on the support page here: http://solubleapps.com/mailshot-support/#LOADBACK. Drop me an email from the support button in MailShot if you need any further help.
