To build custom distribution lists in the Employee Email web app, you can choose to add contacts using any of the following methods:
- Uploading a comma-separated values (CSV) file
- Configuring automatic syncs with Microsoft Entra ID (previously Azure AD)
- Configuring automatic syncs with Workday
- Configuring automatic syncs from your Staffbase App/Intranet
All methods require you to map your contacts' attributes from your data source to a corresponding field in the web app.
Attributes are the characteristics that differentiate one recipient from another, which enable you to segment your audience and target your communications to specific groups.
If there is no option in the dropdown to match an attribute you want to use, you can either skip mapping it or create a new field to store this information.
Note: This functionality is only available if you send emails directly from the Employee Email web app. This article is not relevant if you have installed an add-in or extension and you send tracked emails from your email client.
