Creating an Email Template / Email Tags

When starting a new email you have the option of either
  • Creating a new email with our default template
  • Or "repeat/copy" from a previously sent email, using it as your template for each new bulk email

You cannot modify the default template, however copying an existing newsletter works well and often saves much re-entry.

Personalising your Templates

You can include the following fields in your email content

With the bulk emailer unsubscribe links will be taken care of for you in the footer of your email.
