The mycause event dashboard has an email communication tool that allows for event managers to easily alter the wording of automated emails and create customised emails to send out to large groups of participants at once.
To send out a mass email to all fundraisers in the event dashboard click on 'Marketing', then 'Email communication'
In the 'Email Communications' screen, there are four tabs for different email types. Click on the last one, 'Create your own email'.
Scroll down to the heading 'Write a new email' and you will see text fields for the email subject line and body text.
You can use merge tags as placeholders for specific information, such as the participant's name, which will automatically fill in with each participant's information when the email is sent.
Once you have written the email, you can choose who to send it to. Depending on what settings you have turned on for your event you will see different options here.
You can click the 'preview' button to see what the email looks like to your participants, and then click the 'send' button to send the email.
Once you have sent your own emails, you will see them at the top of the 'Email Communications' screen with options to see who the email has been sent to (down arrow), send the email to other participants who fall into the group who have not received the email yet (button), and view the email that was sent (button).
