Can I automatically include e-mail contacts to my group without sending out an invitation?

Question

The email contacts have problems accepting the link in their email to join the group. I heard I could just subscribe them automatically.

Answer 1

YES

Answer 2

Yes, if you have their permission to add them to your group. (It's against Yahoo TOS to add members without their permission)

To add members to your group:

1. Click Members from the list on the left of any page.

2. In the upper right, click Invite People.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Add Members from an existing email list.

4. In the first box, enter the email addresses of new members you want to add, one per line. In the second box, type any message you’d like them to receive regarding their addition to your group.

5. Click Continue.

6. Review the list of email addresses to be added. If you'd like to edit it, click on Edit. To add the new members, click Continue.

7. Now, review the welcome email that will be sent, and if it looks good to you, click Add Members. If you’d like to change the "My introductory message to you" portion of the email, click Edit and make your changes. (The remainder of the text cannot be changed.)

Then click Add Members.

You may add 10 addresses per 24 hour period. The limit applies both to an individual group and an individual moderator.
