Creating E Mails

Initial Setup

In order to use e-mail marketing, you must specify some default settings. 

• Navigate to: Dashboard > Marketing > E-mail > New Message.
• Default From Address: Enter the e-mail address that this message will be sent from. Most of the time, this is your business's generic contact email. For example: info@domain.com.
• Default From Name: Enter a name, so your recipients can identify you as the sender. This could be your business name.
• Click the "Save Default Settings" button.
• These settings can also be changed later via Dashboard > Marketing > E-mail > Three-dot Button > Configuration.

Note: You must clearly identify yourself as the sender. Providing false or misleading information will cause you to violate spam acts.

Create a New E-mail

• Navigate to: Dashboard > Marketing > E-mail > New Message.
• In the pop-up window:
  • Method of Creation: Select whether you want to create the e-mail from scratch or a post.
  • Message Type: Select whether you want to create a Broadcast or an Automation. Most of your regular e-mail marketing campaigns should be a Broadcast.
• Click the "Create E-mail" button. 
• Give a subject title to the e-mail at the top of the page.
