Freeing Higher Education from Salesforce Limits

While Salesforce does provide powerful customer relationship management functions, it has some limits. With Salesforce, you cannot send more than 5,000 emails a day. It's more difficult to track emails through Salesforce and since Salesforce doesn't check on your email deliverability. Consequently, you may not know whether your emails are actually getting through or whether they may be marked as spam.

MassMailer directly integrates with Salesforce to provide additional functionality to the award-winning system. WithMassMailerand Salesforce, you can eliminate Salesforce email limits, while also checking and improving upon email deliverability. ThroughMassMailerAPIs, your email solution can be customized to suit your institution—and you can leverage bothMassMailerand Salesforce tools.

Keeping Students and Faculty Members Connected

MassMailermakes it possible to keep students and faculty members connected at all times. Withtraditional Salesforce limits, faculty members may struggle to connect with their students on a reliable basis. Teachers may need to send out notifications, alerts, events, and schedules, and they may quickly exceed limits and be unable to notify their students.

Further, advisors and teachers may need to be able to see whether students have opened their emails or when they've last read their emails. Salesforce andMassMailermake it possible for advisors to not only send large volumes of emails, but also track whether thee emails arrived and whether they were interacted with. Through this, they can build a better relationship with their students.

The University of Colorado provides an excellent example. WhenMassMailerwas introduced to the University of Colorado, teachers were struggling to keep students updated. With 225 emails sent to 80,000 recipients every month, it wasn't possible to acquire the volume that they needed through Salesforce alone. After switching toMassMailer, they were able to achieve a 63% email open rate, and send all the emails they needed to—thereby improving their communication with their students.
