The email manager component allows you to create emails to be sent out to your email subscriber database and/or specific lists of subscribers. Each email send is described as an event and your provider will provide you with an email template with editable content.
• Once logged in select ‘Email Manager’
• On the left hand side select ‘Compose and send events’ under Email
• Enter a code (using a recognisable convention is recommended like the date), email title under name and a description if necessary and select ‘Add’
• The new email event will appear under your list of events. Select ‘edit’
• Enter a reply email address under ‘Reply to’ and a subject line which users will see when they receive the email under ‘Subject’
• Select the template you wish to use (normally default template) from drop down box
• You can edit the copy and images under the HTML version using the rich text editor and then plain text version (plain text version should be entered so users without HTML readers can still view your email)
• Once complete select list of subscribers you wish to send the email campaign to from ‘Send to lists’ (default list is all subscribers). To send to multiple lists hold down Ctrl and select lists
• To send at a later date save your changes and exit and the new version will be available from your email list when required
• Select ‘Send’ and ‘Ok’ if you wish to send straight away
• Tip: always create new campaigns using default templates to help avoid formatting errors
