Email Template - Create a New One

Email Templates are time savers when it comes to sending out frequently used email messages. The can be sent exactly as stored in the template or used as a starting point for modification prior to sending.

Modules

Select which administrators get to use this Email Template by selecting the desired Module. For example, if you choose Volunteer, any administrator who is a volunteer administrator will have access to this template. If you’re just getting started, select Volunteer.

Including Attachments

In order to include a file from the Document Library as an attachment to your Email Template, the file and template must have matching modules. For example, if you are creating an Email Template that is associated with the Volunteer module, you can only attach files from the Document Library that are also associated with the Volunteer module.

When you add a file to your Document Library, you specify which module administrators the file is available to. For example, if you choose Volunteer, any administrator who is a Volunteer administrator can use this file (when sending emails, or creating Email Templates).
