1. This help page describes how to use the group mailing feature.
2. The 'Sent From Email' box is pre-loaded with an email address. To stop emails going into recipients spam folders the return address should be the club's. If replies are required, ask the web manager to create a personal account for you (e.g. ann.other@bansteadnevillebowlingclub.co.uk).
3. It is possible to add up to two attachments. Click on the 'Choose Files' text and locate the file to be included in the mail. Repeat if there are two attachments. Leave blank if there are no attachments.
4. Click on the 'Select a Group' box and a choice of groups will appear. Click on the relevant group. All groups will not include those that have opted out using GDPR. ALL = Every member, PLAYERS = All Men & Lady bowlers, MEN = only male bowlers, LADIES = only lady bowlers and SOCIAL = all social members.
5. In the 'Subject' box enter suitable text to describe the purpose of the email. Leaving it blank will increase the chance of an email as being assessed as spam by a recipient.
6. In the 'Enter Message Here' box enter the communication to be sent. To personalise the message use [forename] and/or [surname] which will be replaced by the recipients personal details. Other formatting is possible but may require some training.
7. To send click on the 'Send Message' button. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE OFF THE PAGE UNTIL THE PROGRESS GRAPHIC DISAPPEARS. Failure to do this may mean some messages are not sent.
