Why this helps

Teams can lose time deciding where a newly useful preference should be recorded in their email platform.

  • Respond to a real preference-tracking need.
  • Give the team a consistent place for a future value.
  • Avoid creating fields without a clear purpose.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Blackbaud and Mailercloud to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create a plain-language automation prompt to review supporter preference categories and create a Mailercloud custom property only when an existing property does not cover the need.
  • 3Choose a monthly Notis schedule.
  • 4Choose a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with one real preference category and confirm the property is appropriate.
