Overview of the Email Broadcast Application

The Email Broadcast application provides a powerful communications tool that can be used in conjunction with other applications in SmartSimple. This application can be used in a wide variety of ways in your company.

• Newsletters and updates for customers, internal staff, and applicants if you are using the applicant tracking application.
• Invitations to events, you can link the message to a public calendar.
• Links to surveys or contests that can be completed by customers.

General Characteristics of Email Broadcast

To create an email broadcast you will need access to the Email Broadcast application. Unlike most other applications, there are no manager permissions associated with this application. Once you enable the application, you can use all the features.

Each email broadcast consists of two components:

• A message formatted in HTML or plain text containing links to other sites, pages or SmartSimple features; such as web forms and calendars. All these links can be tracked.
• The recipient list – the contacts and users you have selected to send the message.
