How to use Bulk Actions

How to run Bulk Actions on your subscriber list, and where they are available.

Updated over a week ago

Bulk Actions just got a whole lot more useful.

There are several places in Kit where you can use Bulk Actions. Here's how (and where) you can use this feature.

Our current Bulk Actions

Here are the actions you are currently able to execute in bulk:

  • Add a Tag

  • Remove a Tag

  • Add a Sequence

  • Remove a Sequence

  • Export (i.e., subscribers)

  • Delete (i.e., subscribers)

Where can I run Bulk Actions?

Bulk Actions are available from pages that display a list of subscribers. Here are the pages on which they're available:

  • The overall Subscribers page, as well as within all of your Tags, Segments, and Products from its sidebar

  • Recipients, opens, clicks, and cancelled Subscribers for Broadcasts

  • Subscribers to specific Forms & Landing Pages

  • Unconfirmed, active, completed, and cancelled Subscribers on/from a Sequence

  • Recipients, opens, clicks, and cancelled Subscribers on/from particular Sequence emails

NOTE: Not sure where to find all these pages? Check out our articles on Broadcast reporting and Sequence reporting for a guide.

How to perform a Bulk Action

The steps to perform any Bulk Action from any page are the same.

The only things that change are:

  • The group of subscribers you select, and

  • The action you select from the dropdown.

1. Navigate to the relevant page of subscribers

Which group of subscribers do you want to perform the Bulk Action on? Go to the page that shows them.

Let's say you want to perform a Bulk Action on all subscribers with a specific Tag. In this case, click that Tag from the Subscribers page's sidebar to view just the subscribers who have that Tag.

2. Select your subscribers

Check the boxes next to the subscribers you want to perform the Bulk Action on.

Or, to select all subscribers in a particular group, click the checkbox at the very top of the list. Then, click the Select all # subscribers option that appears.

3. Select your Bulk Action

Once you've selected your subscribers, click the Bulk Actions dropdown, followed by the Bulk Action you want to perform.

That's it! From there, follow the onscreen prompts to complete the Bulk Action.

A note on repeat Sequences

When you run an Add to Sequence Bulk Action, you'll notice a message about Sequences that can be restarted.

This is to let you know that if you add subscribers to a repeatable Sequence, and they've already gone through or are currently going through it, they will restart the Sequence from the beginning and receive its emails again.

There will be an icon to indicate which of your Sequences have been set to be repeatable:
