Send a Personalized Group Email (Option 1)
A group email can be started from any contact list (Customer, Unit, or Address lists), the List Builder, or from the Business Tools menu. Each message is sent separately to maintain recipient privacy.
Before using the email feature in Boulevard, first add your outgoing email settings in Preferences. See Sending Email through Boulevard for detailed steps. Also, ensure your email signature includes your contact information, including a physical mailing address, to comply with anti-spam laws such as the CAN-SPAM Act (US) and CRTC (Canada) when sending promotional emails.
Options:
From any contact List, List Builder, or Contact Log (recommended): This option works best when you use Boulevard’s integrated email feature and want to include personalized details from each recipient’s contact profile, select specific recipients, and apply filters.
From the Business Tools menu: This option is best suited if you are launching a desktop email application, would like to include recipients from multiple contact lists, or want to copy the email addresses to paste outside of Boulevard.

To prevent internet service providers from blocking your email address from reaching your intended recipients, we recommend that you do not send more than 50 email messages at a time. For bigger email blasts, we recommend using an email marketing service (Mailchimp, Constant Contact, SendinBlue, etc.) so your email address stays safe and doesn’t end up on spam lists.
