If you'd like to send an email message to everyone who has processed a payment through a particular form, then use Mass Mail. Note you won't be able to track their interaction with the email message through this feature. If you'd like to see if they opened your email or clicked on a link it contains, we recommend exporting Payments and importing that user data into your Email Campaign program.
