What is it?
Want to grow your email list with no extra effort? With Save to Email, your followers can request your recipe and have it sent straight to their inbox without ever leaving your DMs.
It’s a win-win🏆:
Your followers get a recipe they can easily find later in their email
You build your list passively and can start sending them more great content
Once your follower enters their email in the DM flow, Grocer’s List automatically saves it and syncs it to your email provider where they get entered into your welcome sequence (or whichever sequence you select!)
How it Works:
When a follower receives a DM from you through Grocer’s List, they’ll see a Save to Email button.
If they tap it, we’ll ask for their email and instantly send them an email with your latest recipe. You can customize what that email looks like, so it fits your brand and promotes your other content too.
How to Set Up Save to Email
Login to Grocer’s List.
Go to Save to Email.
Customize your email style and content:
Click Email Settings to adjust your brand colors

💡 Pro tip: Turn on the call-to-action button to link to your recipe index, your cookbook, or anything else you want to promote
Send yourself a test email to preview how your email looks.
⚠️ Last step! Go to Comment for DM > Setup & Defaults > Edit Default DM Card Settings to confirm the Save to Email button is appearing on your DMs.
Where to View and Export Your Contacts:
To see the emails you’ve collected:

Things to Know:
Save to Email is only available on paid plans. Upgrade to start growing your list automatically.
You only need to set Save to Email up once. After that, the button is added automatically to every DM.
The text we use for the DM conversational flow is 100% compliant. If your audience is non-English speaking, reach out to [email protected] and we can update the text for you.
