A draft is an email ready to send. You create it from a template, optionally edit the content, set custom variables, then choose recipients and send.
Create a draft
- Go to Emails → Drafts and click Create draft (or New draft).
- Select a template. The draft is pre-filled with that template’s subject and body.
- Give the draft a name (e.g. “March newsletter send”).
- Optionally edit the subject or body (changes apply only to this draft, not the template).
- Set custom variables (if the template uses them): e.g.
event_date = “March 15”, link_url = “https://…”. These override the placeholders when sending. See Variables.
- Save. The draft is ready to send.
Use custom variables for one-off values (e.g. event date, specific link) so you do not edit the template every time.
Edit a draft
- Open the draft from Drafts, change subject, body, or custom variables, and save. Until you send, you can keep editing. After sending, the draft remains for history; you can duplicate it to create a new draft from the same content if the UI allows.
Send from a draft
- Open the draft and click Send (or Send email). Then choose recipients (e.g. a group, all members, or a custom list) and confirm. See Sending.
