Create beautiful newsletters - no design skills needed. Newsletters are formatted emails, usually sent on a rotational basis. You can group messages into campaigns, to create matching emails for a specific topic. For example, you may choose to use one campaign for your weekly newsletters, one for promoting membership sales, etc. To send a newsletter, please go to your communications tab on the left > create newsletters and click add message. Choose if you want the newsletter to be part of an existing campaign or a new campaign and then work your way down the screen, filling in all the steps.
If you're looking to send a quick message instead, you can do that from the View & Send Messages.
