Our communications staff wants to be able to resend a mailing (or send a new mailing) to recipients who did not open a previous mailing. Of course, this is possible by creating a group from the "unique opens" of the first mailing, and then excluding that group in the new mailing.

Unfortunately, there are a number of steps with this, and it seems like a sufficiently useful workflow that I'd be interested in it as a new core feature. Other mass mailing services like Constant Contact have a "resend to non-openers" feature.

Before I open an feature request issue in lab.civicrm.org, I wanted to test it here to see if others feel it might be a worthwhile feature, or if there is some other way to streamline the workflow.

    Sounds like a useful contribution to civicrm to me. Note, it is unlikely to progress without funding. You may want to also approach some Partners for a quote to get an idea of the scope of work to have it as an Extension. – petednz - fuzion♦ Feb 21 at 20:49

    This is a good idea - I've actually been asked to write something similar in the past, but funding didn't come through. – Jon G - Megaphone Tech Feb 22 at 2:58

    How about (may be easier and provide more options) -> getting the unique opens in a report template. Then you can select / filter / create a group / export. – KarinG - Semper IT Feb 22 at 4:50
