CampSite's e-mail tool allows admins to send outgoing e-mail messages to parents, campers, alumni, staff, groups/guests, and donors.
E-mails can be composed just prior to sending; or, they can be composed in advance and saved for sending later. Saved e-mails are useful for messages you want to send repeatedly, eliminating the need to manually compose the message each time.
There are 3 parts to composing an e-mail in CampSite:
*E-mails cannot be sent when composing a saved e-mail, so the "recipients" section will not display.
Applying E-mail Settings
- Load a previously saved e-mail message. To compose a new e-mail message, do not select a saved e-mail.
-

Attachment: Upload a file from your computer and attach it to your message.
Composing a Message
- Add merge fields to the body of the email. When a merge field is added, CampSite will populate the recipient's data from that field into your message, personalizing your email to each recipient.
- Report toolbar: Format your e-mail message by adding content or changing the look of your text. Hover over each button to learn its function.
- Text editor: Type the body of your e-mail message.
-
Save e-mail: Save the e-mail in your database (if you'd like to send this same message again).
