Step 1.
Click Recipient Lists, then [+ Add Recipient List].
Step 2.
Add the name of the recipient list and click Add Group button to choose the user type: Partners, Advertisers or Network employees.
Step 3.
When multiple rules are added to one group, the rules will have an AND operator, meaning that the recipients added to the list will need to match every rule within the group.
If multiple groups are added, each group has an OR operator, meaning that the recipients added to the list will include all emails that match any of the groups:
Pro Tip: You can let your partners using Tipalti know when they need to update their Tipalti account details by using "Is Payable".

How To Create An Offer Details Direct Message
Step 1.
Go to the Messages tab and click New Message.
Select either a 'General' message for contacting users, or 'Offer Details' to send a message to Partners regarding specific offer information.
Step 2.
Select a Recipient List, or create a new one here by toggling on 'New Recipient List'. Once the recipient list has been selected, you will have an option to exclude specific user emails.
Step 3.
Create the message and schedule the timing. For scheduling, switch the 'Schedule' toggle to Yes. If the 'Schedule' toggle is set to No, then the message will be sent immediately.
Please Note: Emoticons are not supported in Direct Message.
Tracking Link Macros
The following macros are now supported in Direct Message - Offer Details:
{offer_tracking_link} This macro is associated with the Conversion Method configured at the Offer level, so it could be either a Direct Link or traditional redirect link.
{offer_tracking_link_redirect} Use this macro if your offer is configured for Direct Linking, as the redirect must be enforced for dynamic creatives to function properly.
All direct messages include an unsubscribe link at the bottom. This allows your partners to opt out of receiving emails if they wish.
Your message must include the {unsub_link} macro. An unsubscribe link will be appended to your message automatically if you don't include it manually.
You can provide more context for the unsubscribe link by treating the {unsub_link} macro as any other link, inserting it as the link itself followed by the descriptive text.
This will create a descriptive label for the unsubscribe link that recipients will click to opt out.
Step 4.
Preview the message before sending, then click Send or Schedule.
