A mailing list solution for organizations - compatible with Gmail only.
- Navigate to chrome://extensions/
- Click "Load unpacked extension"
- Select the directory that contains all of the pigeon-chrome code.
- Enable the extension.
- Navigation to Gmail and sign in using your organization account (i.e. "name@princeton.edu").
- You should see a "Send Via Pigeon" button - Click on it.
- The compose window should already contain pigeon@domain in the "to" field.
- Write your email, but also append "##tag1 ##tag2" to the subject line after your normal subject.
- Click 'Suggest Tags' to have Pigeon parse your email and automatically suggest you a list of Pigeon-approved tags you can append to your subject line.
- Send your email.
- If there are errors, you will be alerted. The email will still send to "pigeon@domain", but that's OK (for now).
- Type in the subject line: "Interested in computer science? ##compsci"
- Message will send with subject: "Interested in computer science?" to all users in your organization subscribed to ##compsci.
- The Pigeon Chrome extension functions best when used without other Gmail-affecting chrome extensions from third-parties. There are known problems when used when Boomerang is enabled & when emails are sent using Sidekick.
