Steady progress

When we started rolling out Email in RENXT, we promised you’d see regular enhancements to this “next generation” email tool. This is the first major enhancement we’ve released – and we think you’ll enjoy the option to use these beautiful templates, created by our talented email designers at Blackbaud.

In the Comments section below, let me know which one is your favorite! I’ll also be monitoring this area for comments or questions about the new Email tools.

How do I use the new Email templates?

In Marketing > Email, select Create an email, Create email from a template. 

 

Under Select a template, search for and select a template. 

1. Choose a template
2. Change out the images to match your brand
3. Update the content, widgets, and buttons
4. Pick your list and hit send!

For more information, see Help for Email.

 

Can I save an email as a template to use again?

Not yet. Currently, you can copy an email you sent earlier to use as the basis for a new email. So if you create an email you like, copy it for the next one! In a future Email release we plan to add the ability to save an email design as a template.

Note: Don't see this feature? No need to worry. If all goes well based on feedback from the first clients who use it, expect its wider release in a future update.
