At Addresses > Lists a new automatic target group (short: auto target group) can be created via the button on the bottom right.

To do this, a name must be assigned to the auto target group. The target group will then appear under Addresses > Lists in the first tab.

Auto target groups are filled automatically, e.g. through and address generation set up in promio.connect, via an interface to an external CRM system, or through an automatic import of addresses which are made available via SFTP. If several newsletters are defined in the current client, there will be an auto target group for each newsletter which the recipients can subscribe to and unsubscribe from, for example via a Newsletter-administration page.

In other words, an auto target group is always up-to-date and therefore constantly changes in size: as a result of subscriptions and unsubscriptions carried out within a newsletter, subscriptions generated via an address interface, an upload of addresses to the SFTP server etc. Blacklist entries and hardbounces are automatically deleted from auto target groups.

Addresses can also be added manually form another target group at Addresses > Lists.

Auto target groups can be recognized by the circle symbol:
