Checklist for Mailings
This checklist is made to help you avoid mistakes when sending Mailings. The following aspects are required:
You have imported the e-mail adresses of the participants into the List of Contacts.
You have also imported your own e-mail address and the e-mail address of a college into the List of Contacts (just like you did with the other e-mail addresses).
There are less than 5000 e-mail addresses in the List of Contacs otherwise you have included data of a SMTP-server in the
Project settings under
expert settings. This is also necessary, if your organization has a
SPF-Domain Entry that prohibits Sosci Survey to send e-mails in the name of your organization.
If not all participants are supposed to get the mailings at the same time, you created subgroups of participants.
You have prepared the text for the mailing.

This checklist is meant for invitations for one-wave studies (cross sectional designs) in cases when the addresses of participants are known in advance. For multi-wave studies (longitudinal designs) and/or studies with Self-Recruited Respondents more aspects have to be taken into account.
