Email Manager: Custom Mail

As an event Organizer, you need to go to ‘Email Manager’ > ‘Custom’ tab, the list of emails are shown if available or create a new custom email.

You need to click on ‘Create Custom Mail’ and go to the email details page where you have to provide the basic details like Email Name, Email Description, Email Subject, Sender Details, Email Design etc.

You need to enter the Email Name first then the Basic Detail option will be visible to be filled up.

For custom emails, you need to select the Event State and provide Email Subject & **Email Description in the Basic Details section.

**(Email Description here is for your reference purpose and won’t be displayed to the users.)

‘To’ section contains Audience Segments that will have ‘Groups’ (Predefined and Custom Groups) or ’ People ‘(It contains all the users added to the People section)

‘From’ details will have sender details like Sender Email Address(Not editable), Sender Email Address, CC Email and BCC Email. To change the sender's email address, you should go to Settings -> Sender Details -> ‘Send Request’ a new email address. (This is plan based, kindly connect with your CXM for the same)

In ‘Content and Design’, you should create a new email template/duplicate the existing template and you can’t use the default template. Editing the existing template will open the Email Editor with the default template.

Creating a new email template will open the Email Editor with a blank template.

You need to drag and drop the sections which you want and can apply the required available settings. Within the email editor, you can also change the specific UI for each template. This UI change will be applicable to that specific template only and then Save the template –

To help you get the crucial event details to your audience, you can easily add event data like Sessions, Speaker, Booth, Logos, Banners etc that will help to add this information to the mailer.

The email content can be set responsive for the desktop/mobile. Eg. The session tab that you have added in the email, can be disabled for the mobile or desktop as required.

You can add ‘Merge Tags’ to the email content that automatically captures the data from the dashboard. Eg. When an ‘Attendee Name’ tag is added to the email content it will capture the attendee’s name in their respective emails when the email is sent to the users -

Once the template is finalized and saved, you can also Preview the email template by clicking the 'Preview' tab before sharing the mail with the users. A pop-up of the preview email template will open up -

After saving the changes to the new template you can ‘Send Test Email’. Send Test Email will allow you to quickly view the email which is configured. Kindly enter the email id and press enter and then Send the test mailer -

Once the template is saved, it will be added to the list of templates where you can click on ‘Apply’ to activate that template.

Once that template is activated, kindly click on ‘Save’ to save the template.

You can send the mail now or schedule it for later on a specific date & time.

You have to select the time zone and date & time to schedule the email.

Once the emails are scheduled, you can view all of them in the list. The email status will move from scheduled, ongoing and sent.

In ‘Advance Plan’, organizers will be able to create Custom emails however they won't be able to schedule or send the email to users.

The settings will work as per the update in the Email Manager.
