This tutorial will show you how to setup and send an email newsletter using your DISKMANdotNet EMF (Email Marketing Facility).

We assume for this tutorial:

  1. Your template is already created
  2. Your mailing list is already imported and active

Further instructions will be added to this tutorial over time for other functions.  Feel free to investigate all areas inside your EMF. 


Step 1 - Log In to EMF

Open a browser and enter the EMF url which is http://yourdomain.com/newsletter/admin

Enter your username and password.


Step 2 - Create a new message to send


Step 3 - Create your email message content 
  1. Type your subject
  2. Enter your name (business name) as you'd like it to appear then add after a space your reply email address
  3. To personalise your emai, after your greeting add [Name] so the system inserts your recipients first name.
  4. Type out your content
  5. Add images/formatting etc using the toolbar
  6. You can ignore the footer message as this is embeded into your email template
  7. Save your work

After step 4 (choose your template) you can return to this tab to adjust any content or formatting and send more tests to yourself.


Step 4 - choose your template

Click the FORMAT tab and select your template

You may return to the Content Tab at any stage to adjust any content or formatting and send more tests to yourself. 


Step 5 - Scheduling

You can set up your email messages to be sent in some time in the future.  If you are sending the email message on the same day you can ignore this tab.

Note: Criteria Tab is not used, so you can ignore this tab.


Step 6- Choose which list(s) to send your email message to.

Simply tick the box next to the name of the list(s) you wish to send to.

Press Save Changes.

Press Send Message to the Selected Mailinglists when you are ready to start sending your email message. '


Step 7 - Process the Message queue

Click the link to process the message queue.

That's it!  Your email message will be sent to each person on your mailing list.

Once it's finished you will see a report and the report will also be emailed to you.
