How Do I Send Out a Newsletter?

Edited

Newsletters are a great way to keep your contacts informed and engaged. In CareFunnels, you can create and send newsletters to individuals or groups using your Smart Lists.


When to Use Newsletters

  • To share updates, promotions, or announcements with clients.

  • To maintain regular communication with your contacts.

  • To target specific audiences using Smart Lists.


Step 1: Clone the Newsletter Template

  1. Go to Marketing in the left-hand menu.

  2. Select the Emails tab from the horizontal menu

  3. Then choose Templates.

  4. Find the template called Company Newsletter and clone the template.

  5. Give your clone a name that’s easy to recognize (e.g., September Newsletter).


Step 2: Customize Your Content

  • Open your cloned template.

  • Edit the body text with your own content (e.g., introduction, updates, or announcements).

  • Replace placeholder text or remove sections you don’t need.

  • Add images, links, or additional messages as desired.

  • Save your changes.


Step 3: Create and Send Your Campaign

  1. Return to the Marketing page.

  2. Under Emails, click to create a new campaign.

  3. Choose the template you cloned and customized.

  4. Make final edits if needed (changes here won’t affect your saved template).

  5. Decide how to send your newsletter:

    • Send Now → delivers immediately.

    • Schedule → set a specific time to send.

    • Batch Schedule → send in smaller batches (e.g., every 15 minutes).


Step 4: Set Sender and Subject

  • Sender Email & Name → leave as is (it will use your location details).

  • Subject Line → update to match your newsletter topic.


Step 5: Choose Recipients

You can:

  • Select specific contacts, or

  • Choose a Smart List for easier, reusable targeting.

To send to a Smart List:

  1. Click the + icon under recipients.

Tips for Success

  • Always clone first—never edit the master Company Newsletter template.

  • Use Smart Lists to avoid manually selecting contacts each time.

  • Test by sending to yourself first before sending to your full list.

  • Keep subject lines short and engaging to boost open rates.
