bulk invites to subgroups via a single email

 

I'm new to Groups.IO
?
I have created several Subgroups. Now I want to send a single email from a separate email system (ie not from Groups.IO) to ~500 recipients. I want the email to have multiple join links, one?for each subgroup. Clicking on a link would automatically add that person as a member to that subgroup. ie something like:
?
Select 'link-1' if you would like to join the group 'SubGroup-1'
Select 'link-2' if you would like to join the group 'SubGroup-2'
Select 'link-3' if you would like to join the group 'SubGroup-3'
etc.
?
Is this possible or is there an alternative way to send bulk invites to subgroups via a single email.
?

The only way to send a one-click link to join a [sub]group is to use the Invite function. They'll receive separate emails - one for each subgroup - but that's probably the best you can do. There's no reason you can't invite all 500 at once; just paste all their email addresses into the box. Depending on the situation, you can even Direct Add them instead, forcing those who aren't interested to take action and unsubscribe. Some might not take kindly to being shanghaied like this, and I could hardly blame them.?

[If I haven't sufficiently discouraged you yet, it is possible to send a list of links to each subgroup's "join" page. It's not a one-click signup; there are a couple of steps involved, which they will have to complete separately for each subgroup. The links will also behave differently for each person, depending on whether their browser/device has an active login cookie. This could be a lot of hand-holding, and does not strike me as convenient for anybody.]

Hope this helps,
