| | 43 | == Sending Email to our Members == |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | * Click Mailings -> New Mailing |
| | 46 | * Give the mailing a name. This will not be visible to the members, but will be visible to CiviCRM users |
| | 47 | * Choose at least one Group to send the email to. Your primary options are: |
| | 48 | * Member Contacts: Billing - all control panel contacts that receive membership dues invoices (relatively small group) |
| | 49 | * Member Contacts: Tech - all control panel contacts that are labelled as a tech contact (relatively small group) |
| | 50 | * Member Contacts: General - all control panel contacts, regardless of their label (a little bigger) |
| | 51 | * Member Contacts: User - all email addresses associated with a membership in the database (very big list) |
| | 52 | * Member Contacts: ALL - the combination of all the member contacts (the biggest list) |
| | 53 | * Click Next |
| | 54 | * Privacy page: I suggest disabling all tracking since it can conflict with our privacy focus |
| | 55 | * Compose the message subject and body. Only fill out the HTML Format body (the text body will be auto-generated). |
| | 56 | * Include the default Mailing Footer, which contains opt out links |
| | 57 | * Next page: send yourself a test message and read it carefuly for mistakes |
| | 58 | * Next page: send immediately (it will go out with 5 - 10 minutes) |
