If you need to send information to multiple people simultaneously, you can email a group of people from a list. This email has basic formatting but can include hyperlinks and attachments. Managers and those with Can email lists permissions can email a list.
Tip
For more formatting options, use Mailchimp to send a styled email. Lists with more than 500 people must be sent through Mailchimp.
From the Results tab on a list, deselect people who should not receive the email. If no names are selected, the email will be sent to everyone on the list.
Select the message icon and choose Send email from the dropdown.
Tip
You can also email a list using the People mobile app!
Use the formatting tools to customize your message.

Note
If you're not ready to send your email, select Cancel. The next time you try to email this list, you can restore your previous email or start a new email.
The email is sent to primary email addresses only. Once the email is sent, you can find it on a person's Communication tab in their profile.
When someone unsubscribes from an email sent to a list, a red icon appears next to their email address, and they will not receive any other emails from lists.
If they want to resubscribe, they can use the same unsubscribe link in the original email, or an administrator can invite them to resubscribe by selecting the unsubscribe button.
If you have access to any lists, you can view past emails sent to those lists and upcoming scheduled emails under the Message history.
