How do I create email content or email templates in RegMail?

Solution:

RegMail is an email broadcast tool available in your RegOnline account. Using RegMail you can create email content, upload mailing lists, and schedule email jobs to go out at specific times. However any email content that you create in RegMail can be sent from standard and custom reports throughout your account. This can be useful since you can create email content once as a template and use it for many purposes or even different events.

To create RegMail email content:

1. In the RegOnline Manager, click on the RegMail link from the left-hand side bar or navigation tree.
2. Click on the Content section.
3. Click on the Create New Email Content link. This will open the email content window.
4. On the General Tab fill out the following required fields:
   • Content Name - Enter a name or description for this email content or template.
   • Subject - Enter the text that you would like to display in the subject line of the email.
5. Click on the HTML tab. This is where you will compose your email content.
6. Use the HTML Content Editor to compose your email and add your content.
   • See the related links below for further assistance using the HTML Content Editor and adding Merge Codes in your email.
7. Click Apply to save and stay or OK to save and close the window.
   • Remember to save often.

Once you have composed your email in HTML format, then you can copy/paste the content into the Text version. This is an optional step, but allows you to set up a Text Only version that can be sent to people that, for some reason or another, can not receive HTML content in their email program.

1. Highlight and copy the finished content from the HTML Tab.
   • Use Ctrl-C on your keyboard to copy the content.
2. Click on the Text tab.
3. Use Ctrl-V to paste the content into this section.
   • Remember that links will not work in a Text Only email. So provide full URL's that recipients can copy into their browser, if necessary.
4. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.
