Bulk Email Sending Using Email2DB
The Database Pull option in Email2DB allows you to read messages to be processed from a database source. Triggers can then execute
in response to new records found. Triggers can be setup to send outgoing emails. This enables you to configure Email2DB as an
advanced bulk email solution.
Suppose you have a database containing all your contacts. You could setup a
database pull account in Email2DB to check this database every few minutes:
You can then setup an Email2DB Trigger that will fire whenever new records are found in the Database Pull source. This trigger can be setup to send outgoing emails:
Your outgoing emails can use field values that have been read from the database source.
Once you have setup your database pull source and your Email2DB trigger, then
you simply need to add records to the data source. Email2DB will check for new
records at regular intervals and send your outgoing emails.
Advantages Of Using Email2DB As A Bulk Emailer
- You can define how many records to process in each 'batch' by setting a 'TOP' clause on your source SQL statement.
- You can define how often Email2DB will check for new records, thus defining how
fast Email2DB will process records.
- You can setup multiple outgoing emails and use the Conditional Send to decide
who gets what.
- You can setup scheduled follow ups.
- You can create another trigger to handle un-subscribes and other responses.
- You can setup a schedule to define what times of the day the trigger is active.
