Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is there a way to send all of our customers or consignors an email without entering them all in a separate address book?

    • Yes, there are two ways to collect all of the email addresses in InBloom easily.  There is an automated report that will create an email in your default email application but it will include EVERYONE who has an email address on file, not just consignors.  To use that, just go Main Menu > Other Modules > Reports > Bulk Email Contacts > Run Report.

      If you want to filter the list of results and only do this for your consignors, it's straightforward but a little more work:

      1. Go Main Menu > Other Modules > Data Administration > Contacts
      2. Click Find Mode at the bottom, scroll waaaaaaaaaaaaay to the right and find the Consignor Flag column, type the word Consignor in that field in that column
      3. Scroll to the left and find the Email 1 column and type an asterisk * character
      4. Now hit Enter on the keyboard and you should see a list of all consignors who have given you an email address
      5. Go to the File menu and choose the Export Records menu option.
      6. In the resulting window, name the file whatever you want, specify the location to save the email addresses and change the Type pulldown menu at the bottom to Comma-Separated Text
      7. Click the Save button at the bottom right
      8. In the new Specify Field Order... window, click the Clear All button
      9. Now scroll through the alphabetical list of fields on the left hand side and choose Email.  Doubleclick it or click the Move button in the center and you'll see the word Email now appear on the right hand column
      10. Click Export in the bottom right
      11. You'll now have a file saved to the location you specified in Step 6 that will have all the email addresses you need.  Simply copy and paste all the emails in that document in the BCC file in your mail application.  Note: you may have an issue sending email with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail-based addresses as these services often limit the number of addresses that can be sent per hour.  We recommend services such as CampaignMonitor.com
