Overview: Recipients

Recipient data (for example, the email address and name or place of residence of a recipient) is the basic element of Inxmail Professional. Recipient data is required for sending mailings, creating target groups or generating reports, for example.

Recipient data can be transferred to Inxmail Professional as follows:

Recipients enter the recipient data themselves (for example, when subscribing to a mailing list via your web page, Overview: Subscription and unsubscription).
You can import recipient data from an external data source (Importing recipients (from an import source) and Importing recipients through copy and paste).
You can enter recipient data manually in Inxmail Professional (Creating recipients manually and editing them).

Individual recipients are identified via their email address. Duplicate recipient data is not possible because email addresses are unique.

All recipient data is saved in the global recipient table (All recipients agent). At the same time, the recipient data is also displayed in the recipient table of the mailing list (Recipients agent) to which the recipients have been assigned. A recipient can be assigned to one or more mailing lists. The recipients in a specific mailing list are separated as follows for a standard mailing list:

All recipients who are currently subscribed to the mailing list can be found on the Subscribed tab. Mailings from this mailing list may be sent to these recipients.
All recipients who have unsubscribed from the mailing list in the meantime can be found on the Unsubscribed tab. Mailings from this mailing list may no longer be sent to these recipients.

You can display the recipients (Displaying recipients) and manage them (Managing recipients) in all recipient tables.

The global recipient table and list-specific recipient table show the same data. For example, if you change the data of a recipient (such as the surname) in the list-specific recipient table, this data will also be automatically adapted in the global recipient table and vice versa.

Note: This statement does not apply to list-specific columns such as the Tracking permission column. List-specific columns are not recorded globally in Inxmail Professional but per mailing list.
