Creating a New Newsletter

To create a newsletter, follow these steps:

Make sure you are on the WWW environment in xCatalyst
Expand the Communication menu section.
Click the Newsletters link. The List of Newsletters page is displayed.
Click the New Newsletter link.
Check the boxes next to the Email Lists to indicate which email lists should receive a copy of this newsletter. To add new email lists, use the Email Lists feature.
Enter Additional Addresses to receive the newsletter. Multiple email addresses can be separated by a comma or semi-colon.
Select the Default Body Type. The choices are HTML or Text.
Enter the From Display Name. This is the name that will be displayed in the “From” field on the recipients email client.
Enter the From Email Address. This is the email address that will receive responses (when recipients click reply) and bounced emails.
Enter the Subject. This is the subject that will appear in the subject field on the recipients email client.
Enter the Target delivery date to indicate when the email newsletter should be sent.

Note: If the target delivery date is set to the same day the newsletter is created, you will be asked to confirm the delivery date. If the delivery date is confirmed, the newsletter cannot be edited again. The only action that can be taken to prevent the newsletter from going out is to delete it before it is picked up by the tickler.

Create HTML version of the email communication. The HTML version is not required.
Enter the Text Body for the email newsletter. The Text version is required.
Click the Save button to save the newsletter. If the date is set to the same day the newsletter will be sent, you will be prompted to confirm the date. See note above.
