It would be nice if the application had the capability of sending emails to specific members within groups instead of the entire group.

Yes, I support this wish ! (and actually extend to member levels and/or groups)

Since my previous post I have realised that when you first filter your member list (by group, by membership level or whatever you wish), this filter is maintained when you click on the "email users" button. Sorry for this, and for not having found it earlier in this support forum.

That's correct, but what if you want to email selected users from the sorted list? There is no built-in mechanism to select only the users you'd like to email without emailing a group by default or emailing a sorted list.

I agree, being able to filter an e-mail list in more detail than membership level and/or group would be great.

I also agree, being able to either delete people off the filtered list prior to emailing

or

being able to select the members of the group to include

would be a nice feature to have.

All of these improvements would be warmly welcomed. In general, having a button to click to send otherwise automatic emails would be very helpful, e.g. donation receipts as well as event announcements.

It would be great to have a SELECT checkbox next to members names.  You just select, select, select, and then click SEND EMAIL (or any other mass action.)  Right now, it is very hard for us to send email to 5 attendees who have volunteered to help us with a given event.

What do you think of creating a group for these 5 people? Then you can select them quickly via advanced search - or use a saved search - instead of selecting them each time?

That is an ok solution for volunteers -- although we have a different set of volunteers for each event and we will end up with a lot of little groups.

In the event that we want to send a one-time email to 5 people, it is a little tedious to create a group or to create a query with 5 criteria.  The SELECT checkbox would let us make quick ad hoc queries.  Thanks.

Thanks, I understand this now.

I agree. Would love to have more control and options for list selection sending emails.

When we have a solution designed, we will post the details on it on this forum, and then once we are certain that it will meet everyone's needs, we will set a release date for this.

Until then, this issue will be moved to the wishlist.
