Neighbor Blast

What it is​

Neighbor Blast mails to the neighbors of a target address. When you add an address to the bound list, thanks.io finds nearby neighbors within your configured radius and sends them mail automatically.

All Neighbor Blast recipients land in a shared list called All Campaign Neighbor Blasts - available for follow-up campaigns.

How to set it up​

  1. Go to Automated Campaigns in the left navigation.
  2. Click Add Automation.
  3. In the modal, set Select What To Send, Select An Image Template, Select A Message Template, and Select A Mailing List (this list receives the source/target addresses you want to blast around).
  4. Under When to Send, choose Neighbor Blast (radius around an address) as the Sending trigger.
  5. Set Neighbor Types and Number of Neighbors to Send To.
  6. Enter the day delay in the Enter Day After Added to List field (days after an address is added before the blast fires).
  7. Under Select the Property to Display in Google Street View, choose whether the card image shows the target property or the recipient's property.
  8. Optionally toggle Include Search Address In Mailing List to also mail the target address itself.
  9. Optionally toggle Move recipient to new mailing list after sending and select a destination list.
  10. Click Save.
  11. On the automation row, click Preview to review the rendered mailer.
  12. Toggle the automation ON.

Adding a source address​

Add the listing or target address to your bound list. The campaign fires automatically within the delay window.

  • From the dashboard: open your list → Add Recipient → enter the address
  • Via CSV upload
  • Via CRM/Zapier integration

Tips & best practices​

  • Enable Target Property for Just Listed / Just Sold and absentee owner sends. Without it, the recipient (a neighbor) sees their own address, not the listing - confusing and irrelevant.
  • For time-sensitive Just Listed sends, set delay to 0.
  • Combine with Move Recipient on Send to move Neighbor Blast recipients into a follow-up list for a Days After Added drip.
  • Check All Campaign Neighbor Blasts regularly - it's your complete record of everyone reached.

Limits & gotchas​

  • Neighbor searches draw on thanks.io's address data - coverage varies by area.
  • Duplicate Prevention applies.
