How the Tell a Friend option works in Icomm
The Forward to a Friend option in Icomm allows recipients of an email to easily forward it to other contacts.
This feature is enabled when scheduling an email send on the Icomm platform. Upon receiving the email, the recipient will see a Forward to a Friend button or link.
By clicking on this button, a form will open that will allow the recipient to enter the data (name, email) of another contact to whom they wish to forward the original email.
Icomm will then take care of sending the same email to the contact entered by the original sender.
You can activate this feature when setting up a shipment. To do this, you must select the "Forward to a friend" box.
By default, this option is usually activated. If you do not want to include this button in your submission, you just have to uncheck the box.
The "Forward to a Friend" option is only available for emails without custom fields. It cannot be used in emails with merge tags.
Activating this option will create a "Viral Marketing Profile" in the Icomm account. All contacts who receive the email from this option will be registered there.
Forwarding is recorded as a new metric within the Icomm mailing report.
In conclusion, this feature allows you to expand the reach of an email campaign, taking advantage of the recipients themselves sharing the content with new contacts.
When the user receives the email, they will see the Forward to a friend button above the newsletter header.
By clicking Forward to a friend, you will be redirected to a form, where you must complete the data of the contacts to whom you want to forward the newsletter.
Once the data is completed, you must click Submit. In this way the email will be sent to the new contacts.
