Setting up distribution lists

Learn how to setup a distribution list within MintFly, which can be used when sending airdrops

You can set up distribution lists within MintFly to store various groups of contacts and attach them to your airdrops for bulk distribution. These are perfect for categorizing your contacts or building specific lists for each campaign your organization runs.

Creating a distribution list

MintFly Boost users can create an unlimited number of distribution lists composed of up to 200 contacts, while Kickstarter (free) users are restricted to 1 distribution list composed of up to 25 contacts.

To get started creating a distribution list, access the Distribution Lists page and click the Create button located in the page header. This will launch the sidebar editor where you can begin to build your drop.

Creating a new distribution list

Details Tab

Configure the details of your distribution list by adding a list name and distribution type.

Distribution List Name

The distribution list name is simply an identifier for your list, that describes the group of recipients within.

Distribution Type

MintFly supports both email and wallet-to-wallet distribution lists. Currently, wallet-to-wallet distribution lists are only available to MintFly Boost users.

An email distribution list will be composed of contact email addresses and can be used for email airdrops, while wallet-to-wallet distribution lists will only feature contacts with blockchain wallet addresses for use within wallet-to-wallet airdrops.

Completing distribution list details

Contacts Tab

The contacts tab is used for selecting which contacts you wish to add to your distribution lists. These can be selected manually, or imported from a file.

Manual Contact Selection

The default option for creating a distribution list is to manually select which contacts you wish to add to the list.

All of your contacts will be displayed on the screen for you to navigate through and select the ones to add to your distribution list. When selecting contacts for a wallet-to-wallet distribution list, you will need to specify the primary wallet address you wish to use for each contact using the dropdown menu - as some contacts may have multiple associated wallet addresses.

Importing Contacts

Contacts can be imported from a file instead of manually selected by clicking the Import from file button located near the top of the sidebar.

From here, you can click or drag a file with your contact data that you wish to add to your distribution list.

We support the following file types:

  • CSV

  • XLS

  • XLSX

  • XLSM

Note: Your contacts file must adhere to a strict column naming standard in order for us to read and process the data correctly.

To help you with this, you can download our CSV template.

Once you have uploaded your file, we will process it and show you an on-screen preview of the contacts we were able to extract from the file.

If something went wrong, you can go back and re-upload your file again.

Uploading a file with contacts

Create

After configuring your distribution list details and contacts, create your list by clicking the Create button located in the footer of the sidebar editor.

Your list will be created and added to the distribution list manager table on your screen.

Finalise and create your distribution list

Archiving distribution lists

Distribution lists can be archived when you no longer need to use them anymore but don't wish to delete them just yet.

You can archive 1 or more distribution lists by selecting them from the Distribution Lists table, clicking the overflow menu icon located in the table header, and then selecting the Archive option.

This action can be reversed at any time by repeating the same action and selecting the Active option.

Deleting distribution lists

Distribution lists can be deleted in order to free up more space within your current plan for additional lists or when you simply no longer need them.

You can delete a distribution list by selecting the lists within the table you wish to delete, clicking the overflow menu icon, and selecting the Remove option.
