The new contact group is saved and will appear within your contacts list.

Communicate with a Contact Group

Communicating with a contact group is just as easy as communicating with a single contact.

  1. Select a contact group.
  2. Click Email.

    The name of the contact group appears in the To field, just like a single contact's name would.

The email is sent to everyone in the contact group at once.
