To create an email using the new email editor, begin by clicking the “Click to Edit - New” button on the email compose screen:

Working With Templates

When you first access the new Clubessential Email Editor, you will be taken to the Template Manager. This allows you to quickly start an email from a template. 

...

Once you’ve chosen a template, you can easily edit content, images, and hyperlinks within the template. 

Composing an Email

To begin formatting your email, choose your desired content options by dragging them to the center of the content panel.

Body

The Body of the email is the foundation, by which general settings are applied and inherited by the structure and content blocks. For example, if you choose a certain font within the message settings on the Body tab, then all content will inherit the exact same font type. 

...

Please Note: While the new Clubessential Email Editor offers the flexibility of customizing your email design, it is important to keep consistency with your designs that reflect the branding for your private club. To access your branding guide for specifications on font and colors, hover over Admin > Click on Style Guide.

Structure

The Rows tab is where you can determine the types of rows you would like to add to the message. The rows will hold various content types within it. Using the row options, easily create one column, two columns, and various sized columns for the body of the email. 

Every row will have its own settings, which allows for flexibility in your design. For example, you can select a background color for the entire row, just the message area, or a specific column within it. 

Content

The content tab is where you will add various content elements to the structure. Drag and drop your content options, like text, images, a button, etc. to your structure and then you can begin editing.

Images

All images used with the new Clubessential Email Editor will be separate from the Image Explorer from the website. Once an image block is added, you can add images by clicking “Browse” or by simply dragging images from your computer to the image block.

Message Preview

Preview your messages before sending them out with the Message Preview feature. This will allow you to see how the email will display on mobile and on a desktop. Click Actions > Preview.

Saving the Message

Once your email is composed, you can click the save button at the top right and continue to send the email as you would with the old editor.

...

Please Note: It is very important that once you have created an email in the new email editor that you DO NOT edit the contents with the old email editor, as the content will behave unpredictably. Likewise, inserting HTML content from old email editor templates into the new editor is not recommended.

Saving Templates

To save your email as a template for future use, use the “Save as Template” option under the Actions menu at the top left.
