By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

The Bulk Email Builder in Sparkforge Contacts unifies Quick Compose, Smart Builder, and template selection into one flow. It filters out unsubscribed and invalid contacts before sending and tracks opens, clicks, and bounces.

The Bulk Email Builder in the Sparkforge Contacts screen sends one-off email campaigns to a Smart List or selection. It filters out invalid and unsubscribed contacts before send and includes link tracking, UTM tagging, and tag automations.

What is the Bulk Email Builder?

The Bulk Email Builder is the editor that opens when you click Send Email in Contacts → Smart Lists. It unifies Quick Compose, Smart Builder, and Template Selection into one flow that matches Workflow and Campaign email actions.

Dynamic custom object labels

The builder uses your custom object labels (for example, Leads or Clients) instead of hard-coded "Contact" text. Labels update automatically based on your CRM configuration.

Pre-send contact filtering

Before sending, Sparkforge shows a recipient summary:

Total contacts selected.
Filtered contacts (invalid, unsubscribed, or DND-marked).
Final recipient list.

This protects sender reputation and avoids deliverability hits.

Three creation modes

Quick Compose: simple text editor for announcements or transactional updates.
Smart Builder: Design (drag-and-drop), Code, or Plain Text editors.
Select Existing Template: reuse saved templates or browse the Template Library.

Additional settings

Track Clicks: per-link click counts and clickers.
UTM Tracking: append campaign parameters to URLs.
Add Tags: apply contact tags based on engagement.

Send a bulk email

Go to Contacts → Smart Lists.
Select contacts or a Smart List.
Click Send Email in the Bulk Actions toolbar.
Pick Quick Compose, Smart Builder, or Select Template.
Compose the email.
Review recipients in the confirmation modal.
Optionally enter a Test Email ID and click Send Test Mail.
Click Review Campaign.
Pick a send mode and click Send Email.

Send modes

Send All at Once: immediate delivery to all recipients.
Send at Scheduled Time: pick a future send date and time.
Send in Drip Mode: deliver in batches over time for better inbox placement.

Where to view performance

For per-send stats, click Show Stats on the Bulk Action. For a unified view across Campaigns, Workflows, and Bulk Actions, go to Marketing → Emails → Statistics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will unsubscribed or invalid contacts get my bulk email?

No. Sparkforge automatically excludes unsubscribed, invalid, and DND-marked contacts before send.

Can I reuse templates from other parts of Sparkforge?

Yes. Templates from My Templates and the Template Library appear in the Select Template option.

Are Smart Lists updated dynamically for scheduled sends?

No. Recipients are captured at the time you schedule the send, not when it actually goes out.

Can I auto-tag contacts based on opens or clicks?

Yes. Use the Add Tags option in Additional Settings to apply tags based on engagement.

Where do I see opens, clicks, and bounces?

Use Show Stats on the bulk action for the basics, or open Marketing → Emails → Statistics for the unified dashboard.
