Mass mailer

 

The mass mailer enables organisational units and subunits of the University of Vienna to send e-mails to a predefined group of recipients (students, employees) – for example, newsletters or other information mails. The recipients cannot contact each other via the mass mailer. They are selected based on certain individual characteristics (such as degree programme, affiliation with a particular department) before the e-mail is sent.

 Note

This service will be reorganised. Therefore, the possible characteristics available for selection are still limited. 

  • Only mass mailers for students with certain degree programme codes (e.g. A123 456 789) or members of certain department numbers (active academic staff, general university staff) will be newly set up. You cannot select further restrictions (such as curriculum, location, status, position code).
  • Existing mass mailers remain as they are. Changes are not possible. However, the owner can still delete or add people authorised to send mass mails. 
  • Groups and representatives of the ÖH (Austrian National Union of Students) have to contact the participation officer: partizipation@oeh.univie.ac.at. The restrictions mentioned above also apply to new mass mailers for students.

Requesting a mass mailer

Use the form Requesting a mass mailer.

To set up your mass mailer, the ZID uses characteristics saved in the staff directory of the University of Vienna.

  • Be as precise as possible when specifying the desired group of recipients (for example, degree programme codes, department numbers, etc.).
  • Not any combination of characteristics is possible.
  • Setting up the mass mailer takes some time. Schedule a preparation period of several days (especially at the beginning of the semester). In case of uncertainties or enquiries, it can take even longer to set up the mass mailer.

You will receive a notification e-mail as soon as the mass mailer has been set up or if any details are still missing.
