FAQs

A: Unsubscribe links allow email recipients to unsubscribe from receiving your future emails through MailMail. It is mandated by the FTC’s CAN-SPAM Act, and will be added for you if not found in your template. You may add your own unsubscribe link by including an <a href="{{{unsubscribe}}}">Unsubscribe</a> in your template.

A: Dynamic tags are words encompassed in double curly brackets, example {{name}}. They can be included in your template to make your emails more personalised. If you are a Pro user, MailMail will retrieve columns in your recipient lists that match your dynamic tags, and fill in the values in your template accordingly. All users must fill in default values for dynamic tags during campaign scheduling to account for missing values in recipient lists. If you are not a Pro user, your emails will only use these default values.

A: Dynamic tags can only contain alphanumeric characters. Whitespaces and special characters such as ?!.,-_/ are not allowed. They also cannot begin with a number, e.g. {{1name}}, or be empty, e.g. {{}}. Dynamic tags are not case sensitive. Using {{firstname}} or {{FirstName}} in your template would refer to the same column firstname found in your mailing list. If columns of the same name are found across multiple mailing lists, the column from the mailing list with the higher order will be used. For example, given mailing lists with order 2 and order 3, the column from the mailing list with order 2 will be used.

A: Helper tags are words encompassed in triple curly brackets. Currently, MailMail is programmed to handle a number of helper tags. These tags are filled in automatically when sending an email. The tags are {{{year}}}, {{{unsubscribe}}}, {{{address}}}, and {{{company}}}.

A: When downgrading a plan, you will retain your current plan until the end of your billing cycle, whereby your new subscription fee will be the price of the chosen subscription plan. For example, if you are currently subscribed to Pro 50k Plan ($150/mo) which expires on Day 30, and downgrade to Standard 5k Plan ($15/mo) before Day 30, you will retain your Pro 50k Plan until Day 30, whereby you be billed $15 on Day 30.
