As of today, BuzzStream accounts on Professional plans or higher have the ability to set backup recipients when they are sending outreach. What are Backup Recipients? Let’s say you want to reach out to a publisher and there’s more than one contact that might be the right person for your outreach. Until now, most people would either pick one contact and hope they responded or set up a manual system where they sent to one contact, set up reminders to to find all contacts that didn’t respond, manually pick backup recipients and then send a new round of outreach. This process is tedious, time-consuming and error prone. People often just give up on the process because it requires so much work, so they lost out on potential links. BuzzStream can now handle that whole process for you automatically. Now you can pick a primary recipient for your outreach to a website and a set of backup recipients. If your primary recipient doesn’t respond, BuzzStream automatically moves on to the next recipient for that website. This saves you time and increases the likelihood of getting links and coverage. How Backup Recipients Work in BuzzStream The new Backup Recipient functionality has been engineered to be really straightforward while also being flexible enough to adapt to the wide range of workflows users have in BuzzStream. The basics of the feature are simple. After you add a recipient for a website, just click into the Recipient field again and select the Add Backup Recipient option. From here, select from email addresses or people you’ve added to a website that you think would be a good backup recipient. You can also add new people or email addresses right from here. […]
