CAA Product Help

(HELP ?) Circles provide narratives on Training, Explanations, and Hints. These can be related to the overall screen, or to specific items on the screen.

You found the (HELP ?) Circle narrative for "Using the Send Email Now button" by clicking the (COMPREHENSIVE HELP ?) Circle on the "EMAIL & TEXTING" Screen in MemberLink or any of the other screens related to "Email & Texting" that have this (COMPREHENSIVE HELP ?) Circle.

Before proceeding, please be sure you have previously clicked the (HELP ?) Circle that leads to the narrative on "Overview and Basics: Using the Email & Texting Function". Being familiar with the general information about the "EMAIL & TEXTING" Screen may be helpful to you.

The following information relates specifically to the "Sending Email Now" feature.

Using the "Send Email Now" Button

When you have finished building your email or texting message, complete with distribution list, attachments, etc., you can choose to send the message immediately or choose to send it later. Here we describe "sending it now" and sending it later is covered by a separate (HELP ?) Circle narrative.

If you are ready to send the message, click the [SEND EMAIL NOW] Button. The system will immediately begin sending the message, to one recipient at a time, until the entire distribution list has been processed.

** Important:
Once the system starts sending the message, you cannot stop the process. Be patient and wait! After all email or texting messages are sent to the recipients, you will see status lines that read: "Email sent successfully to" and the person's email address. Each intended recipient of the message will be listed one-by-one on a status line.

Since the messages are sent one at a time, the MemberLink email engine will not be flagged as a "spammer" by receiving email service providers. Also, each recipient will see only the message to them "" they will not see the email addresses of any other recipients. Your distribution list will remain confidential because each recipient will not see any of the recipients or their email addresses.
