Send an email to members

Do this when you want to email news or information to people in your church.

Who can do this: Your role needs Edit access to Message Manager. If you can send only to your own group, see Send a message to your group.

1. Open Message Manager. On a computer, click Message Center in the menu, then Message Manager. On a phone, tap More, then Message Center, then Message Manager.
2. Click New Email. The Create New Church Message screen opens.
3. Choose who gets the email. Click Recipient Members, Recipient Groups or Mailing Lists.
4. In the window that opens, check the names you want. Use the search box to find a name quickly.
5. Click Save Selection. The number on the button shows how many you chose.
6. Do steps 3 to 5 again if you want to add more members, groups or lists.
7. Click Subject and type the subject.
8. Click in the box under the subject and type your message.
9. Click Send.

You see “Message sent successfully.” The email shows in the Message Manager list with the status Sent.

Good to know

• You need at least one recipient. You can mix members, groups and mailing lists in one email.
• To send to almost everyone, open Recipient Members and check Select All Members Except. Then check only the people to leave out.
• To get a copy yourself, check Email Myself a Copy in the Select Recipient Members window.
• The member list shows only current members who have an email address.
• To remove one recipient, click the X next to the name. To remove all of them, click the X at the end of the line.
• Use the toolbar above the message box to format your text. Add image puts a picture in the email. Attach file adds a file of 10 MB or smaller.
• To check the email before you send it, click the eye icon (Preview).
• To see every email address that will get the message, click the people icon (See All Recipient Emails). To copy them all, click the copy icon (Copy All Recipient Emails).
• To change the look of the email, see Choose an email template.
• To finish the email later, see Save a message as a draft. To send it at a set time, see Schedule a message for later.

If it does not work

• “At least one recipient (Member, Group, or Mailing List) must be selected.”: Add a recipient.
• “Subject is required”: Type a subject.
• “Content is required”: Type a message.
• Banner Required: The Minimal template needs a banner picture. Pick another template, or click Go to Settings to add a banner.
