Getting Started With Email to List

Step 1:  Go to Admin Menu > Email to List

Step 2:  Select the type of email you’d like to send.

Simple Text: use the email editor to send a text email or create your own template from scratch.

Basic Templates:  select from basic layouts that look great on any device. Insert images, change colors, add a logo.

Themed Templates: add text to a pre-built template with images for organizations, seasons, holidays, and more.

Use the Templates tab to explore and preview the collection of templates.  Template requests are welcomed:)

Step 3:  Customize with the Email Editor

Change template colors using the background, header, message and links drop down color pickers.  For a description of what the editor buttons do, just move your mouse over each button.  Here’s an example of a logo embedded in the Basic Template named Story.  We’ve also adjusted the template colors using the drop down color pickers.  Let us know if we can help you with the customization:)

Quick Tip: get a full screen view of your email by clicking the full screen  button. To exit the full screen mode, simply click the button again.

Basic Templates contain “placeholder” images where you can add your own logo or image.  Each placeholder image references a height and width that will work with that specific template.

All Templates include built-in social media links to encourage folks to interact with your website, Facebook, or calendar page.  Feel free to add others if you like.

Step 4:   Send a Test Email and Save As…

The “Send a Test Email” button let’s you proofread your email, check email links, etc. You’ll almost always catch something when you test:)
By default the test email will go the email address that’s associated with your user account but you can also specify a “Test” email address in the Email to List > Options tab.

The “Save As…” button provides an option to save as Draft or as a Template.  Draft emails can be found in the Mailboxes tab.  We  encourage you to save customized emails that you’d like to use again as a Template.  To open a saved template, go to Templates > My Templates tab.

Step 5:  Verify Your From Email Address

This is a one-time step that’s both easy and important.  Verifying your “From” email address, basically confirms that you’re you.

Simply click the “Verify Now” button and we’ll send you an email.  Open the email and click the [Verify Email Address] button and you’re ready to email.
