When starting a new email you have the option of either
- Creating a new email with our default template
- Or "repeat/copy" from a previously sent email, using it as your template for each new bulk email
You cannot modify the default template, however copying an existing newsletter works well and often saves much re-entry.
Personalising your Templates
You can include the following fields in your email content
With the bulk emailer unsubscribe links will be taken care of for you in the footer of your email.
| BULK EMAILER | EMAIL AUTO RESPONDERS | |

| Their name (complete name retreived from the NAME member record) | [NAME] | [mbr_name] |
| Their expiry date if any exists | [EXPIRY] | |
| Their password | [PASSWORD] | [PASSWORD] |
| Members reference number if any exists | [REFERENCE] | |
| A special link that allows customers to confirm their email address validity (double optin) | [CONFIRMLINK] | [CONFIRMLINK] |
