I have list of subscribers from my old blog. Now I want to resubscribe users to my new blog. But when I upload list to MailChimp I've been banned. From support, I know that my list isn't clean, like lots of dead mails in it. How I can improve list quality to finally start sending mailings?
You may use email validation service, like mailcheck it's not unique service, but comparing to others they do contact enrichment. Like showing you Surname of yours prospect. It also could be helpful.

I'm currently organizing the Google groups that our account has and would like to see where each group received the email.
As far as I'm looking at the public API, it seems that there is no way to know when a group received an email or how many it already received.
For example, if a member has been a member of a group since the beginning, it would be possible to create a list from the member's email archive, but I don't want to do that for each group.
Does anyone have a better idea?
Maybe one of the solutions is here, and I'll check it.

I have a newsletter I'd like to send every other week to the same list of users. I have a link for new users to sign up, and I'd like to let users unsubscribe at the bottom of the bi-weekly email.
Is there a way to send to a mailing list instead of just an array of users on Sendgrid?
The best I've seen is that you can make one API call to a mailing list to get the emails, but it caps you by returning a maximum of 50 users.
I've also seen that you can specify lists in marketing campaigns, but apparently you can't use dynamic templates in those campaigns? So I'd have to manually extract the HTML.
This leads me to believe I'll need to request the version of the template I want with test_data, grab the HTML content from that, and manually insert it into a new campaign with the mailing list ID I want?
Any ideas? Is there a better way?
I'm currently developing an app that fetches my contacts in my Microsoft account.
The problem is, unlike Google, when I send or receive an email to/from a new contact, it isn't copied into My Contacts, so I can't get it through https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/contacts.
However, when I wrote a new email, it appears as a suggestion, so I guess it is stored somewhere else.
The question is: is there a way to access to my suggested contacts through the API to get their emails? And how?
Thank you 😊
This feature is only available in beta version for now, please see the following api:
https://outlook.office.com/api/beta/me/contacts?$select=EmailAddresses,GivenName,Surname,DisplayName
This api will return all the contacts that you have received an email from or sent an email to :)
The closest thing to what you're looking for is the People API. As that page says:
The People API returns relevent person entities with each request. A person aggregates information from across mail, contacts and social networks. The results are ordered by their relevance, which is determined by the criteria specified in the request and ranked based on multiple communication, collaboration and business relationships.
I have a website sending out email alerts when a story is posted. Customers subscribe to taxonomy terms to receive only the stories they are interested in. I'm fighting with a weird issue - some of our subscribers complain that they get duplicate emails, I've checked smtp logs and they are right. The problem has first happened with the Messaging and Notifications (after 4 years of stable work), at first only a few users were getting duplicates for some emails and in the end every user was getting every email twice. I assumed it was connected with those modules and replaced them with Subscriptions. Now the problem occurs again. I have two questions:
1) Has anyone got an idea where I should look? I'm really lost. I'm using Mandrill (mandrillapp.com) as SMTP server and used PHPMailer for connection in Drupal (just replaced it with SMTP, hope it helps, will know tomorrow). The website has been hosted with Omega8.cc since the beginning of the year, and the problem occured after this update: https://omega8.cc/boa-221-full-edition-305 but the tech support say it's not connected with my issue and they can't help.
2) I've looked at the subscriptions_queue table and see the sqid column, which is the only one that seems to be related to nodes - how do I find which sqid links to which node? I hope to run a filter on the table to remove duplicate entries if they are there.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm really lost
Thanks in advance
I'm writing a school administration software package, but it strikes me that many developers will face this same issue: when communicating with users, should you use email or SMS or try to combine them?
A previous version of this question was closed for being too subjective. The answers will be somewhat subjective but I do think this is a good question, topical and not yet debated widely. I'll try to narrow it down as much as I can:
Is it feasible to give users the choice of email versus SMS, and have the same business logic apply to both, with the help of a long form and short form message template?
Do users get annoyed when receiving the same message over SMS and email?
Is it common to present administrators with a single report listing message delivery failures combining both SMS and email?
Are there significant numbers of users who prefer to be contacted via facebook rather than SMS or email?
Is there a best practice for all this stuff?
Is there a place on the web where this stuff has been debated?
Are there any reputable commentators who have made predictions about the future of all this stuff?
I'm particularly interested in hearing from developers who have already grappled with these questions.
Is it feasible to give users the choice of email versus SMS, and have the same business logic apply to both, with the help of a long form and short form message template?
Yes, you can implement logic for the user to select which methods of communication he would like to use
Do users get annoyed when receiving the same message over SMS and email?
ABSOLUTELY! Unless the user has set up to receive messages in both the formats
Is it common to present administrators with a single report listing message delivery failures combining both SMS and email?
Yes
Are there significant numbers of users who prefer to be contacted via facebook rather than SMS or email?
Cannot comment on this, YMMV depending on the usage of the site, the target user group etc. You site stats & trends over a period of time will help fine-tune this aspect.
Is there a best practice for all this stuff?
Sure, see a lot of sites which give opt-in/opt-out options for getting communications from the sites. The tendency to spam/flood inboxes with a lot of email should be avoided & the user should be able to set how little/much data should be sent to him & in what format. Google is your friend here, there are tons of articles out there on different aspects.
Is there a place on the web where this stuff has been debated?
I am sure you will find all sorts of legal & other details around this aspect, google is your friend on this item
