How to Create Marketing Emails

Marketing emails are custom templates that are not connected to the enrolment process and include an opt-out (eg invite to musical night, opening day or virtual tour). These types of emails are always triggered by staff or automation.

NB: Marketing emails, by law, must give the parents an option to opt-out. Marketing emails are therefore the option schools should use for all communication that is not directly related to the enrolment process.

Please follow this step by step guide to learn how to set up marketing emails.
