Step by Step Instructions

  1. Under the Messages tab, click Follow Up.



    On this page, click Add New Follow Up Message to get started on your new message.
  2. The first thing that will appear when you create a new message is the subject field. This will appear as the subject line in your subscribers' inboxes.

  3. Moving down the page, you will see the HTML message area. If you want to use HTML features such as changing the font size or color or inserting images, you can use this area to do so.



    Note that you can also learn to use templates in your HTML messages - the templates are listed to the right of the HTML message area.
  4. Below the HTML section is the plain text area. All your messages should have a plain text version in case some of your subscribers do not want to view HTML. Note that this doesn't work both ways - you don't need to have an HTML version if you don't want to.

  5. If this is your first message, you can skip this step - for all other messages, you will next see a box asking you to provide an interval. This is the number of days after the previous message that this one will be sent.



    In this area you will also see a checkbox, "Only deliver this message on certain days and times." If you are interested in sending the message on specific days of the week or times of day, learn to use our send windows feature.
  6. Once you're done, just click Save Message at the bottom of the page. Your message will be saved and will start going out at the interval that you set.

    It is a good idea to test your message once you've saved it. Click the test link to the right of the message you'd like to test to send yourself a copy of your new follow up!
