Email Template Editor

---

In order to send email to your users, you have to have some text to send them, right? The Email Template Editor allows you to compose an email that will be used to send to your user membership.  It also allows for special words (called variables) that will automatically enter personal information for the user, like their first name or address, etc. These “Variables” can also be used in the subject line of the email as well.

A list of all available variables is at the bottom of the page of the “Email Templates Editor”. Lets use an example email to see how it works. Let’s say you want to send this email:
