What this helps you do
Email is where people start. Everyone on your opted-in list receives each message by email from the league's own sending address once Settings shows it verified (until then, from a shared sending address), with nothing installed. When a person connects on Blasts with the same email address, their messages move there on their own. People 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 Sunday at 19:00 in your timezone by default; change the day in Settings.
- People choose each message or the weekly digest on their preferences page.
- Watch email credits on Home. Every new Hub starts with 50.
Example
The field coordinator sends a field change to U12 Division. Parents who haven't connected on Blasts get it as an email from the league'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; people 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.
