Public Emails¶
- Public Email¶
A Public Email is an email that you can basically turn into a web page. Then you can post a link to it on Facebook, Twitter or another public place. This is a great way to advertise an event (complete with a public link to register), or to make a newsletter available to more than just your targeted audience.
Many people will see your post sooner on Facebook or Twitter than they will in their email inbox! Once your friends see it, they can grab the link and post it again themselves. Obviously, this will give you much greater coverage than your original email.
Important
If you are advertising an online registration, do not include Vote Links, Register Links, RSVP Links or Send Links in emails that you will make public. Instead, use the URL that you would post on your website. Also, do not use email replacement codes that would be specific to one recipient, such as {first}, {name}, or any other information relating to that person or to their enrollment.
Make Public Before Sending¶
Create your email and check the box Publicly viewable?. This is under the Subject.

Follow Steps 1 & 2 above (making an email public after sending it). In Step 3, instead of selecting Make Public. select Actions > Make Private.
