Do I need a private group?

Hi All, my need:

I will be emailing out to people within and external to my organisation asking for a call to action, so I want to track who I have sent emails to, the take-up, or not, and the result of the take-up.

 

The obvious way to do this was Groups and planner, but I don't want any group interaction,  I don't want the recipients to know of each other, I don't want any welcome emails.  I just want to manage the campaign.

I have office 365 bus premium,

 

Have you done something similar?  if so how?

 

All thoughts, observations and recommendations are gratefully received.

      Yes, also Forms could be suitable.

      For a comparison, have a look at https://practical365.com/collaboration/forms/creating-surveys-office-365/

  • Is this a once-off, or will it be happening repeatedly?
    You could always do a voting button in Outlook which will track who has voted and what their vote was, as well as who hasn't.
    Otherwise - I would suggest manual tracking of the emails you've sent to everyone with a spreadsheet tracking what the result was.

      Thanks, Loryan, I think that is where I am at (tracking via spreadsheet).

       

      Groups would be great if only I could control it not sending out a welcome email or any other emails for that matter.
