Update - New Communications Tools

We’ve completely re-designed newsletter creation and editing from the ground up, bringing a much more powerful set of tools to build beautiful communications that will look great on all devices!
  1. Redesigned back-end to help assure that your newsletters look great on a small device, in gmail, or on the desktop AOL reader  
  2. More configuration blocks to choose from 
  3. More control and options for fonts and colors 
  4. Fixed the issues with Grammarly plug-ins
  5. New options for including images
  6. Automatically add blog posts and calendars
  7. Quickly change the overall design or look 
  8. Create and link buttons
  9. Create and save your own templates for everyone in your organization to use
  10. Add in macros for recipient name
  11. Include fundraising campaigns and leaderboard information 
  12. Preview the newsletter on desktop, mobile, or text only 
  13. Use “test mode” to test links from within the newsletter editor 
  14. Social media cross posting (means that you can post immediately to your social media accounts when the newsletter goes out) 

Need to send a quick email?
Additionally, we’re making it even easier than ever to send quick emails from within the Communications Tools - without having to build a full-fledged newsletter. You’ll be able to save drafts, schedule future delivery, and even have tracking power to see how many were sent, opened, and clicked.
