What this helps you do
Email is where members start. Everyone on your opted-in list receives each message by email from your organization's own sending address once Settings shows it verified (until then, from a shared sending address), with nothing installed. When a member connects on Blasts with the same email address, their messages move there on their own. Members receiving by email get each message as it goes out, or in a weekly digest if they chose one.
When to use it
This works without you doing anything: it is on from your first send. Visit Settings to check your sending address, pick the weekly digest day, or change the mailbox name.
How to do it
- Open Settings and find Email sending. The Hub sets up your sending address automatically.
- The weekly digest goes out Monday at 09:00 in your timezone by default; change the day in Settings.
- Members choose each message or the weekly digest on their preferences page.
- Watch email credits on Home. Every new Hub starts with 50.
Example
The Capital Chapter chair sends the meeting change to Capital Chapter. Members who haven't connected on Blasts get it as an email from the organization's address; those who connected on Blasts with the same address get it there instead.
Good to know
- One email credit per email sent, including each digest email. Blasts credits and email credits are separate balances.
- Attached files reach people on Blasts only; members receiving by email need a link.
- Reply STOP to any email or Blast to stop everything and leave every audience; START turns messages back on, but assigned audiences have to be added back.
