Mailing Lists
The Mailing Lists tab available in the Odoo SMS Marketing module includes two sub-menus:
Mailing Lists and Mailing List Contacts. Odoo exclusively designed the Mailing Lists
option to create a group of contacts to send SMS inclusively. So it will be very
convenient to send a large number of SMSs with just one click. This will help you to
save more time and effort. All the Mailing Lists created in the platform will be listed
in the Mailing Lists window. When you look at the Mailing Lists window, you can view and
find the various mailing lists created in the platform for marketing programs. Odoo
depicts the Mailing Lists window in both Kanban and List format. The Kanban view is
depicted below.
The window will give you a sneak peek of the mailing lists that we already described. It
includes the details such as the Name of the mailing list, the Number of contacts
available in each mailing list, and other details. To access the list in the List view,
you can click on the List view menu icon available in the top right corner. The image of
the List view is depicted below.
Here also, you will get a sneak peek of the already described SMSs. If you want to create
a new Mailing List, click on the CREATE button.
You can provide the Name of the Mailing List in the provided space. After providing the
name, you can activate the Is Public for making this mailing list accessible for the
recipient in the unsubscription page to allow him to update his subscription
preferences. After enabling this option, you can click on the CREATE button. Now the
newly created Mailing List will be saved into the Mailing LIsts window as shown in the
image below.

menu available under the Mailing Lists tab to open this window. Let us have a look into
