Newsletters: Groups
Newsletters > Groups
Groups
The Newsletters > Groups section allows you group multiple mailing lists into a group. Newsletter Groups categorize your mailing lists. This lets you quickly select that group in order to send a newsletter to all the mailing lists in that group, rather than selecting each mailing list individually each time you create a newsletter. This becomes more helpful the more mailing lists you have.
You can use it, for example, when offering a multilingual site. This way you can have multiple lists per language and categorize them all together into groups defined as each language. Groups can be used to organize mailing lists of any kind, not just for languages. Think of Groups as a way to organize mailing lists of a certain kind/topic/sector/category and to quickly send a newsletter to that group. You can also send a newsletter to multiple groups, not just one.
