20 Nov How to create a contact group from within an email

It can often take time when you’re emailing multiple contacts, to make sure you have included all the relevant parties. You can find yourself doing this over and over again whenever you want to send an email to the same collection of people. Try this quick and easy tip to make a group directly from within an email. 

When you are composing your email, enter the contacts that you are wanting to email and add to a group as you usually would in the ‘To’ field. Then, click on the ‘To’ which you will realise is a link.

Next, a contacts box will open. Head to the bottom and click ‘Save as Group…’, which will then allow you to enter a group name, and hit Save.

To go back to your email, hit ‘Select’ and continue with your email as normal.

Next time you want to email the same group of people, just type in the Group name into the contacts field of your email, and it will autofill your contacts for you.
