Creating a new list

To create a new list you must have account admin privileges. Users with these privileges will see a link for Account in the main menu under Knowledge Base and above Lists. If you do not see the link for Account, contact Mustang List for assistance.

 Go to Account and choose Manage Lists from the options shown under Account.

Then click the button Add a New List.

 Fill in a short, descriptive name for the list under Full Name—your subscribers do not see this name.

Under Link Name put in the name you would like subscribers to see for your list. Normally, this would be the name of your newsletter: XYZ Deals, or LMN Weekly Newsletter, or My Company’s Update, for example. Subscribers will see this name with the unsubscribe link at the bottom of your emails: “To unsubscribe from the name of your newsletter here, click here.” They will also see this name at the top of the page when they use the subscriber update link to update their information.

If you are using the Mustang List Signup Form or if you are using Mustang List’s APIs with your own custom-designed signup form, you will need to enter a password into the field for API Password.

 Click the button for Save Changes. 

Your list has been created. Now you need to grant a user (or users) access to use this list.

 Go to Account and click on Manage Users. 

Select the user that will need access to the list, and in the Action column, click on the Edit link.

On this page, the List Access dropdown box shows the lists this user could access. The lists this user can access are highlighted. To grant access to a list, and only one list, simply click the list name. To grant access to multiple lists, hold the Ctrl key down while clicking the desired list names. All lists the user has access to will be highlighted. 

Click Update and you're done.
