Adding and deleting lists

  • Updated

Adding a list

To add a new mailing list, click the Add a list icon. Then choose whether you want to add a normal list, or a dynamic list.

Give the list a descriptive name in the window that opens. Click Add a list.

List information


The information you can give when adding a list:

List name
The name of your chosen list. You can also modify the name in this view

List description
You can describe the list in the provided field if you wish to. For example, how the list has been or is collected might be useful information in the future. This description is not mandatory.

Can be subscribed to
This setting defines whether the list can be subscribed to by using a form on the website.

Customized site
With this setting, you can choose which website manages the list subscriptions and cancellations. Mainly this setting is managed in the website settings. Ask our support team for more information before changing this setting. 

Folder
If you want to move your list to a folder, choose the folder here.

After completing, press save.

Imports

On the Imports tab, you can import subscribers from your computer in Excel or CSV format. 


Choose columns to import
If the list contains information other than email addresses, the Choose columns to import window will open before the import starts. In this window, choose the columns you want to import from the file. These columns will later appear in the settings as subscriber properties.

If a column name is incorrect, you can map it to a previously imported column. If the column does not already exist, select Add as new property from the drop-down menu.

Note: Email addresses are always imported into the column named email.
Note: Field name ID is reserved for system use and cannot be used as a column name in importing.

If desired, you can clear the existing mailing list before importing. Please note that this action cannot be undone.


Finally, click Start upload. During the upload process, you can leave the view and the upload will continue in the background. Once the file has been uploaded, you will see the successfully imported and rejected subscribers.
 

The Rejected list shows the addresses that could not be imported into the system for one of the following reasons:

Cancelled subscriber
The subscriber has unsubscribed from the newsletter.

Subscriber limit exceeded
The account’s subscriber limit has been exceeded, and therefore the addresses could not be imported. New subscribers cannot be added to the account until the subscriber limit is increased or existing subscribers are removed. You can still create multiple lists, but you cannot add new subscribers to them until the limit issue has been resolved. Please contact our support team or your contact person for assistance.

Invalid email / Corrupted row
A subscriber could not be created from the imported row. For example, the row did not contain a valid email address.

Domain not allowed
Sending to the domain has been blocked.

Subscriber already exists
The same email address appeared on the imported list multiple times, or it already exists among the account's subscribers. Therefore, no new "dublicate" subscriber information will be created. (However, the address will still be added to the imported list, and you can verify this by exporting the list members via the Exports tab.)
 

OR

The phone number of the subscriber being added already belongs to another subscriber. You can check this in the Subscribers section by entering the phone number into the search field. If a result is found, the number already belongs to another subscriber. In this case, import the new subscriber into LianaMailer without the phone number information.

Forget me
The subscriber has requested that their data be removed. No newsletters can be sent to the subscriber unless they subscribe again through a newsletter subscription form.

Subscriber removed due to inactivity
The subscriber has been removed, for example due to repeated delivery failures. If the address is known to be valid, it can be reactivated in the Subscribers section of LianaMailer by searching for the address and clicking the three-dot menu on the right side of the subscriber entry. Select Activate subscriber from the menu. If the subscriber cannot be found, they can be added again from the same Subscribers section using the Add new subscriber function.

You can add a consent for sending either at this stage or on the Grounds for sending tab. If you add the consent during the upload process, it will only apply to the addresses imported during that specific upload. If the consent is added on the Grounds for sending tab, it will also apply to subscribers who are already on the list.

Exports

On the Exports tab, you can download onto your computer all active subscribers, all who subscribed via the website, and all who unsubscribed. You can also choose what subscriber data you want on the file by checking the box for Include only selected fields and choosing the fields from the menu that opens.

Grounds for sending

When you have defined grounds for sending on the Settings page, you can now add them to lists if you want the same grounds for sending for an entire list.

1 The chosen grounds for sending will be added to all the recipients on the list. Grey fields mean that you don't have any localizations for the grounds for sending and therefore grounds for sending cannot be chosen.
2 The language of grounds for sending that you can add to the current members of the list. These language versions are localizations that you have defined for grounds for sending. 
3 The chosen grounds for sending will be removed from the recipients on the list. Grey fields mean that you don't have any localizations for the grounds for sending and therefore grounds for sending cannot be chosen.
4 The language of grounds for sending that you want to remove from the current members of the list. These language versions are localizations that you have defined for grounds for sending.
5 Recently added and deleted grounds for sending.

Deleting a list

Activate the list you want to delete on the Lists tab by clicking it once and choosing Delete list button.
