Designing your email content
On the left hand menu, select content to begin. You will be presented with the email editor where you can add your content and customise the look and feel.

- Your details i.e who is sending the email, name and branch
Designing your email is as simple as dragging a content block onto the email area you would like it to appear. Then click on the block to add content and set the styles.
You can also add dynamic content e.g Automatically add the member name, using the placeholders at the bottom of the page. copy the full placeholder and add to you email template where you would like it to appear. e.g ::subscriber.first_name::
Sending your email
Select send on the left hand menu to proceed.
You will be presented with a screen to review your campaign and also check the details are correct. Any issues highlighted will need to be resolved before you can send. e.g If the unsubscribe url is missing then this needs adding to the template.
