Group Email by Roll and Relationship

[crossan007]

Create method to email all members with a specific role in a group

[crossan007]

Also, for sunday groups, generate parent email lists

that is all part of the csv export, it will include all that data

This is kind of a multi-faceted request.

I'd like to

1) Add a dropdown list next to the "Email Group" button in GroupView, so that the end user can quickly email all members of the group with the selected role:

Use AdminLTE split button to accomplish this:

2) I'd like to update the MailChimp service so that it creates separate mailing lists for each role in each group (based on whether or not that group is configured to export to MC).

I don't want to require end users to export a csv to send an email

2) you don't want to do if you store the same email in mutli lists it will count as 2 users in the system and effect billing... check out mailchimp segments features... that is how we do it...

So a logical structure may look like this:

• Whole Congregation Mailing List
  • Group 1 (dynamic segment)
  • Group 1 - Role 1 (dynamic segment)
  • etc...

yep try the csv export and checkout the extra columns for the groups

This is tracked in separate issues #851 and #852
