Sign in to Administration and then go to "Membership" - "Email Members" and follow the steps

1. Selection

Adjust the criteria as necessary, then see 6 below.

• Name - enter part of a name to send to shorten the list to just particular members
• Member Groups - Tick applicable groups, ticking more than one will include a member with any one of those ticked. See below
  • If you see a message "Email Groups Not Set" it simply means that you haven't any members with an Member Group.
• Status - Choose All, Members or Visitors
• Club Status - choose if used.
• Played - If you just want to send an email to participants in a certain event.

2. Subject

This is what the recipient will see in the subject and will default to the club name, change as necessary

3. Reply To

All Bulk Emails sent automatically , such as this feature, HAVE TO BE ¶¶  sent "from" an email address assigned to the Originator of the emails. This currently defaults to members@bridgewebsemail.com. If a member replies to this email it will end up in a black hole.

Therefore, a line is inserted "Please reply to xxx@example.com" at the top of the email with a link to an email address, this is set to whatever you enter in the "Reply To" field.

You can use an alternative email to members@bridgewebsemail.com. However, this is not available through Web Admin and has to be set up by Bridgewebs on request, please email info@bridgewebs.com.

Note ¶¶.  Sending an email with a "from" or "reply-to" address", especially a free mail such as yahoo or hotmail, which doesn't have a domain part the same as the originator of the email is one of the biggest reasons for emails being flagged as Spam and not reaching the intended recipient. It may also result in the "Originator", i.e.. Bridgewebs.com being blacklisted.

4. Greeting

You can choose whether to personalize your Newsletter. Hi or Dear and to full name or firstname or choose n§one..

5. Message

Enter the message that the recipient will see. 
This is boxed and preceded with a "Hi Member Name"
An "Unsubscribe" link is added as a footer.

6. Web Link

Normally this can be left as default and will provide a link from the email direct to the web site.

You can alternatively choose another page in the web site relevant to the message.

Tip If you want to circularize a PDF document,

• Upload the Document to the Bridgewebs library
• Then this will appear in the Web Link Dropdown
• Choose this

This is a much more efficient method than sending a large document via email to each member.

7. Selected

Having entered the selection, you can fine-tune the list further by Ticking/Unticking as necessary.
