HOW DO I MAKE TEMPLATES?

Most of the time, “General” is all you will need, but when making a new template, you have access to all Custom Shortcuts.

The next slides explain the function of each shortcut.

#FIRSTNAME# #LASTNAME#

Whether you’re emailing a single person or your entire Chapter, inserting this shortcut personalizes the email by putting their names in the greeting.

In the “Email” tab after you’ve selected your template, you may preview your email

#MESSAGE# This is the meat of your email. Whatever you type in the white box will go where

#message# is.

Again we see where this will go in the email when we use preview.

#FROM_NAME# This one is straightforward, whatever your name is

will be inserted by this shortcut.

#FROM_MAIL# #From_mail# takes whatever email you have on

your account and inserts it.

#FROM_MAIL# If you fill in the “Reply to(email)” box, #replyto#

puts that address in the sent message.

WHOM CAN I SEND EMAILS TO?

Now that we detailed each shortcut, we need to add recipients.

After clicking the “Email” tab, find this thumbnail.
