How it Works
How to Send a Batch Email
In order to send batch emails, you will first need to connect your email to Follow Up Boss. That way, the responses to your batch email will flow into Follow Up Boss.
- Go to the People tab
- Filter to the desired list of contacts
- Check the box next to Name > Select All
- Select the Batch Email icon
- Check the box to Include All Email Addresses (optional) Note: This sends the email to all email addresses listed on the lead profile.
- Choose who the Email is From (option for admin users)
- Select the Email Template or Compose your email
- Preview Email
- Click Go Back and Edit to edit the email (optional)
- Send Email or Schedule Email
- Your batch email is complete!
Pro-Tip: Use Merge Fields and include a link to your website where the Follow Up Boss Pixel is installed and when the lead clicks that link, their website activity will show up in Follow Up Boss.

Depending on the server's load at the time a batch email is sent, it can take several minutes to send and register the delivery status for the batch email.
Contacts, not relationships, are counted on the report. This means that if you send your batch email to relationships and either person opens/clicks on the email, the contact will be counted once. If both people open/click the email, the contact will still be counted once on the report. On the contact's timeline, you can see who opened or clicked the email.
This might be because your Batch Emailing is turned off in Power-Ups. You can check by clicking on your initials/profile picture at the top right > Click on Power-Ups > make sure Disable Batch Email is NOT turned on.
