We used to use AirTable for this, here's a link to [our old CRM in AirTable](https://airtable.com/appbjBTRIbgRiElkr?). We'll deprecate that in the coming months.

## Send e-mails via HubSpot
16+
17+
HubSpot is configured to send e-mails from our `@2i2c.org` domain, so you can use it to e-mail consortia, groups of communities, or our community representatives.
18+
19+
We track consortia and other subsets of contacts as [**Segments**](https://app-na2.hubspot.com/contacts/242496330/objectLists/views/all?count=25).
20+
To send an e-mail to a segment:
21+
22+
1. Click a segment.
23+
2. Click {guilabel}`Use in`.
24+
3. Click {guilabel}`E-mail`.
25+
26+
Alternatively, copy a previous e-mail under {guilabel}`Marketing` -> {guilabel}`E-mail` and update its content.
27+
28+
When sending an e-mail, set the **from** address to `hello@2i2c.org` unless you have a reason to send from your personal 2i2c address.
29+
This keeps a consistent sender identity across our outbound communications and lets replies land in a shared inbox.
30+
31+
:::{warning}
32+
These e-mails go out from our root `@2i2c.org` domain, so spam complaints damage the deliverability and reputation of **all** of 2i2c's e-mail, including support and sales.
33+
Only use this to reach people who already know us and expect to hear from us, such as community representatives and consortium contacts.
34+
Do not use it for mass marketing or cold outreach to people who haven't opted in.
