Creating and Sending Newsletters


Newsletters 9.0 is similar to older versions of the module, but with a more fluid user experience and a more modern design. The processes of creating and sending newsletters should feel familiar.

Creating a new newsletter

  1. Click the Create a Newsletter button.
  2. This takes you to the Create Newsletter tab and the newsletter edit form. Complete the fields on this form: name, newsletter type, start date, end date, sender email, and test email. The Test Email field is important: you should test the newsletter first before sending it to all recipients.

    Clicking Edit Now takes you to the newsletters edit form. Clicking Edit Later displays the newly created newsletter on the Newsletters tab.
