Sending Emails from NXT

Hi All, we are looking to explore sending emails from NXT. We'd love to hear from folks who are successfully using the email functionality in NXT.

    We are using it office wide now and the staff has really embraced it. The set up and use is very intuitive and user friendly. We have also standardized our list names in NXT so staff know which lists to use for email marketing.

  • @Austen Brown You are truly the Queen of NXT! Regarding NXT emails…am I correct that there isn't a way to customize an email with someone's name? I think you can do this in OLX, but not in NXT. Is that correct?

  • @Austen Brown We are having trouble with mobile responsiveness of the emails created in the email designer. What am I doing wrong as everything I've read and heard is that they are supposed to be mobile responsive.

    @Melanie BarnasSimmons - Mobile responsive should be natively included for emails designed in web view. What are you experiencing?

    @Austen Brown Finally got off a long chat session. Apparently I need to send in incognito mode? They now work for gmail but they still show up wonky in my work email.

  • @Austen Brown I am wondering if anyone has used Canva to create a template and then bring it in to NXT. In addition to the limitations you mentioned, Austen, are there design limitations or size parameters that restrict layouts in web or mobile view? Thanks!

    @Jennifer McPartlin - Welcome to BB Community forums! There is no way to ‘bring in’ a template created elsewhere, as you're unable to view/edit the HTML code. I've seen folks create a mock-up in Canva and then recreate it within NXT, but that ends up doubling your work. I recommend experimenting in Email Marketing to see what work's best - its fairly intuitive to use, you add elements through drag/drop.

    Here's more information on how to use the below widget to build an email in NXT: https://webfiles-sc1.blackbaud.com/files/support/helpfiles/rex/content/email-builder-nxts.html

  • @Melanie BarnasSimmons hi there, did you ever get help on this? Our spacing between columns is ridiculous on mobile but on desktop it's fine. Thanks, Stacy
