Not associated with any list in your account, a group is a separate, static list of emails that cannot be mailed directly but can be used to shape Single Mailing Campaigns.
To create a group you can import emails, manually type them in, or add subscribers from a list with our move/copy feature. Your subscribers won’t receive a notification when they are being added to a group as this feature is purely for publisher use.

Ways to use Groups in your Email Marketing
Groups are a functionality to help take your email marketing to the next level. A few ways to use Groups include:
- Engage with your most active subscribers by using various Groups created from subscriber engagement levels.
- Differentiate subscribers who have completed a purchase or course to avoid repeatedly pitching to these individuals.
- Or use this same Group to pitch new products or courses the previous purchasers may be interested in.
- Simplify your list hygiene process by creating a Group of inactive subscribers to be removed from your mailing list. Or also create a Group of subscribers who have been removed as inactive to keep for your records.
- Quickly filter subscribers based on specific criteria you've gathered through a form or a subscriber's actions when using a Group based on a tag or custom field.
- Examples of this would be a category of interest, zip codes, gender, career, hobbies, etc.
- Easily abide by your affiliate marketer's agreement by uploading your affiliate's suppression list as a Group to exclude the emails from future affiliate promotions.
- And more!
