How do I send an email?

  1. Log in into eManager.
  2. Click on Email List in the application navigation. 
  3. On the Email Administration you have four filtering options: Click on the boxes for "Sent" and "Tested."  
  4. At the top of the list, you will see the most recent emails sent from your account. 
  5. You can click on "edit" button for any email to make a new copy of that email message.
  6. On "Step 1" make any updates to: From Name, From Address, and Subject line. Select the Audience(s) you want to whom you want to send the email. Click save/next.
  7. On "Step 2" you can draft the plain text version of your email.  Your email will have both a plain text and HTML version.  You can make this "plain text" version completely unique by using "all caps" and other characters to stylize this version of the message.  Click save/next when you are done. 
  8. On "Step 3" you will see the HTML version of your message. You will want to copy and paste your content  from Notepad to maintain the formatting of your HTML template. You can use the tools of the text component to hyperlink any links and format any text. Click save/next on when you are done.
  9. On "Step 4" you have the option to send a test message (Type in one address per line for test recipients--do not use commas to separate the email addresses).  Additionally, you can save your message without sending a test.  You have two options to transmit the email.  Select "send now" or pick a date and time to schedule the email to automatically send at a later time. Click save/next on the button. 
  10. You will now be on the "Confirmation page."  Whether you are transmitting your email to an audience or only sending a text, you will need to click save and close.
You should receive any test emails immediately.  Any emails to your audience will take longer for eManager to compile and send the email to all of the recipients.

If you sent a test email, check to make sure all your links work and the text/spacing looks ok. If everything is okay and you are ready to send your email, go back into eManager.  Again, click on tested box (filtering options) and be sure you select the most recently tested email from the Email Administration page and follow the steps above.

You will be editing a new version of your email.  Click the save/next buttons to advance through steps 1-3. When you get to Step 4 you should select one of the transmission options. Click save/next and you will be on Step 5 for confirmation. Click save and close to send the email.
