In Sendoso, there are many ways Senders can send gifts to recipients. In this article, we'll show all of the sending options within the Sendoso platform and ways to send through our Google Extension and the benefits of each.
Send through Sendoso
The mode of sending through the Sendoso platform will differ based on the type of send you're sending, or the type of campaign the sender chooses. Click here to read more about the different send types.
Sendoso Choice (eGifts)
When a sender selects an eGift Sendoso Choice gift to send, these are the options they will see:
Let's go through each of these options!
Single Email: This option is used for 1:1 sending. This option enables you to send a Sendoso-generated email to your recipient. This option requires you to have the email address of your recipient. Once the send is submitted, the recipient will receive an email letting them know they were gifted an eGift and to follow the directions to choose and redeem their gift.
Multiple Emails: This option is used for 1:many sending. If the Sender has a list of people to send to, they will choose this option and upload a CSV with the recipient's information. Sendoso will then send the eGift emails to the recipients in the CSV. Read more about how to upload the CSV here. The redemption flow will work the same as if you sent a single email to every recipient on the list.
Shareable Link: This option is used for 1:1 and 1:many sending. Selecting this option will enable your senders to generate a link for their recipients to click to redeem the gift. This is great for senders who want to send a personal email or message to their recipient. A Sendoso-generated email will not be sent and the sender will be responsible for getting the link to the recipient.
If there are multiple recipients, you will again upload a CSV and then receive an email with a file with all the shareable links.
Send Via SMS: This option is used for 1:1 sending. This option will let your senders send a gift link directly to a recipient's phone. This is a great option if you do not have your recipient's email address.
Party Link: This option is used for 1:many sending. This is our newest offering! Party Link enables you to generate a link or QR code so that anyone you share it with can submit their information on a customized landing page to receive the gift.
This is a great way to initiate sends before you know who you're sending to! We like this type of sending for events, conferences, and mass email campaigns. Learn more here.

To a Single Person/Company: This option is used for 1:1 sending. This option enables you to send a Sendoso-generated email to your recipient. This option requires you to have the email address of your recipient. Once the send is submitted, the recipient may receive an email asking for their address or asking for them to choose their gift (Sendoso Direct Recipient's Choice.)
To a Group of People: This option is used for 1:many sending. If the Sender has a list of people to send to, they will choose this option and upload a CSV with the recipient's information. Sendoso will then send the eGift emails to the recipients in the CSV. Read more about how to upload the CSV here. The redemption flow will work the same as if you sent a single email to every recipient on the list.
