# Add Subscribers/Recipients

You can attach multiple mailing lists to one message. The group members are copied into the recipient list of the message; If you add/remove individuals from a mailing list they will NOT be added/removed from the message.

Click on the **Subscribers/Recipients** tab to add **Subscribers/Recipients** to your message

Then click on the **Add Subscriber** button.

You can add **Subscribers** one at a time, or you can add a whole Group. Groups do not have to be a Mailing List to be added to a Message; Groups of any Type can be added. For example, if you have a pre-defined list of Companies that you want to send it to, just add it to the message. All contacts on that list will be included.

**Adding a Group:**

* In the **Search** card select **Group** in the **Contact Type** field.
* In the **Group Type** field select the type of group being added as the **Subscribers/Recipients** (Department, District, Employer, List, Role, Team, Venue)
* Click the **Search** button
* In the **Groups** card, select the groups you want to add as the **Subscribers/Recipients** and click the **Add** button.

**Adding Individuals:**

* In the **Search** card select **Person** in the **Contact Type** field.
* Search for the individuals you want to add using the **Name** and **Email** fields.
* In the **Code(s)** field, you can search for users using their Person Code.
* After adding the details, click the **Search** button
* Select the **People** card, select the individuals you want to add as the **Subscribers/Recipients** and click the **Add** button.

You can re-use newsletters (Messages) over and over by removing the last batch of recipients and adding new ones.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shiftiq.com/help/messages/managing-recipients/add-recipients.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
