Suppressing recipients

FirstNameL158536 · ‎03-23-2021

Hi there, if I have an excel file of 200+ people already registered for an event (on a different system), how can I suppress those names from receiving a promotional email? TIA, I'm new to CC.

Hi FirstNameL158536!

Thanks for reaching out to the Community!

I recommend uploading your file of registrants into a list in your Constant Contact account and title it something like Event Name - Registrants.

On the last step of the import process you can add a tag. Call the tag something similar ex: Event Name - Registrants.

When you are ready to send your campaign: Filter a List by Tags While Scheduling an Email

Select the list(s) you want to send to
Click Narrow by Tag
Select the option to Don't send to contacts who are also tagged with
Select your registrants tag
Apply filter
Send

If you would like a complete walkthrough of this process please give our Support team a call at 866-289-2101. They can even share your screen to show you where to click!
