Import contacts to send a notification about your campaign’s launch because your email lists are often the highest converting!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What happens when you import contacts?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Importing contacts will send a message from the platform you<\/strong> are using to the email addresses you upload. These contacts automatically \u2018subscribe\u2019 to this campaign, and they will receive two types of email notifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Weekly Digest emails<\/strong> \u2013 Contain information about activity on all campaigns they subscribe to. If you import someone into your campaign and someone else imports the same person into their campaign, the weekly digest email will contain information about both campaigns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Story Update emails<\/strong> \u2013 Contain the Story update for the campaign(s) they subscribe to. Contacts will receive an email whenever you post a Story update on your campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The emails will come from ‘notifications@platform<\/span>.com’ (so if you are using Crowdfundr, the email is notifications@crowdfundr.com).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here is an example of the initial email<\/strong> they\u2019ll receive: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Important Notes regarding uploading contacts:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. You may NOT upload purchased email lists. These lists often come with spam reports because recipients will likely not recognize the platform. Campaigns that upload these types of lists will be denied and removed.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Your lists\u00a0must be high-quality<\/strong>!\u00a0This means that all recipients must have consented to have their email address used for campaign updates and\/or messages from your group. If you were to upload your ENTIRE email contact list onto your campaign, you would risk some being undeliverable. Undeliverable or delivered mail that a contact has reported as \u2018spam\u2019 hurts both your and ConnectionPoint\u2019s email reputation score. We may remove your campaign if you upload a poor-quality list that results in many of these reports.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. These contacts are YOURS; we do NOT add them to our marketing lists.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
