New Clubessential Email Editor
Overview
The new Clubessential Email Editor allows for email design flexibility offered with the convenience of a drag and drop interface. Easily create stunning emails based on pre-designed templates, or create your own in a few easy steps. The new Clubessential Email Editor separates the concepts of the email body (settings applied to the entire message), structures (rows of the content in the message), and content (text, images, buttons, etc). These elements can be added, removed, or rearranged by simply dragging and dropping options from the content panel to the body of the email.

Add Subject
Next, add a subject to your message. Target the subject so it is clear what the message entails. Use your Club’s name so Members recognize the email. Avoid caution words such as “money” that email services can flag as spam, and prevent delivery to your Members.
To create an email using the new email editor, after adding recipients and a subject line, 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.
We’ve also provided a number of themed templates for newsletters, events, and more. You can change the logos and colors on these messages to match your brand to quickly and easily compose a great looking message.
Once you’ve chosen a template, you can easily edit content, images, and hyperlinks within the template.
