NOTE: Email Designer templates are only deliverable from the Email Designer tab and are not available to select anywhere else in GrowthZone. You can however use them for/in Marketing Automation workflows.

 

The Custom Tools in Email Designer are designed to pull in lists of database information into your newsletter without having to type in a ton of data.

 

Add a List of New Members

The New Members custom tools allows you to easily put the spotlight on your new members. You will be able to define the members displayed based on start date. Additionally, you can define the information included for those members (name, membership type, directory listing link).

  • Adjust the background color if desired
  • Filter to a specific membership type if desired
  • Enter a date range to display new members from within that range
  • Set container padding - this is the space that will surround the list

 

 

Once you have the list of new members loaded, you can click the list to refine any settings (adjusting dates, membership types, etc) or change formatting (font, color, bold, etc). You can also use the Merge Tags option to select additional fields to display in the list. See Email Designer Merge Tags for more information.

 

 

Add a List of Upcoming Events

 

Promote your events using the Upcoming Events custom tool. Once included in your newsletter/email, recipients will be able to view event details and link the the event page and registration page.
