Bulk Emails/Labels

Composing and Sending Bulk Emails

Once you have selected the students to be emailed, you may compose your email from within the Bulk Email screen or compose your email in your own email program. If you choose to compose the email in your email program, the Click Compose in Email Program and the blind copy field (BCC) of your default email program (ie Outlook, Windows LiveMail, Entourage, etc.) will populate with the recipients' email addresses.

If your default email program does not launch, your email list is probably too large to be sent through your email service provider. Please contact them to determine how many emails you can send at once.

If your email program does not launch and you still want to send the email, you can export the email list, then copy and paste portions of the list into your email program.

There is a known issue with Windows Vista and FileMaker's "sendmail" script; if you are using Vista, the "send e-mail" buttons may cause the program to crash.  You may still use the "Bulk E-mail" screen, you will just have to export the lists and import them into your e-mail program.
