Using your MetroList.com Marketing Channels

The Marketing Channels menu item under the Settings Tab is where you have access to view and update your Email and/or SMS Marketing Channels settings and also where you can view and/or add Email or SMS credits.

Marketing Channel Credits

Marketing Channel Credits are how you are able to send Email and SMS messages right from your MetroList.com Dashboard. Your MetroList.com Account is automatically loaded with Email and SMS credits depending on your package level.

The Email capability is included in all three packages - Advanced, Professional and Premier. So the Complimentary account does not require any additional Email credits.

The Text capability is included in the Professional and Premier Packages. So the Complimentary and Advanced accounts do not have an SMS channel option or require any SMS credits.

If you run out of Email or SMS credits, you are able to reload them by selecting the number (it will show the number zero if you are all out of credits) next to the envelope (for email) or chat bubble (for SMS) and continuing one to choose how many credits you would like to purchase.

The Professional Package includes 200 SMS credits a month and the Premier Package includes 500 SMS credits a month.

All credits Email and SMS, do roll over to the next month, and an additional 200 or 500 credits get added to your account each billing cycle.

Email Marketing Channel

Your MetroList.com Email Marketing Channel is created for you automatically and is set up using the @MetroList.com domain.

If you wish to leave the email settings as is, you do not need to do anything further.

However, if you would like to change your email marketing channel you can do so by clicking the edit button (the pen and paper icon) to the far right of the email address line.

Your email marketing channel is already set up with the destination email of your primary email address from your Prospector+ Profile, but if you have changed your email from what is shown in this section, update it here.

If you have a unique email domain that you wish to change your MetroList.com marketing email address to, please contact the MetroList Tech Support staff and we would be happy to assist you! (916) 922-7584 ext. 685
