Overview
As an organisation managing a membership database, you can use member's provided contact details to send email messages directly through the Members section of your GameDay database.
This can be done as an ad-hoc email, or you can use your existing Email Templates to send templated emails as needed.
Step-by-Step
Step 1: Navigate to your Member List
In the left-hand menu, click Members > MEMBERS
Step 2: Define the group of members to whom you want to send the email
Select the member list tab that best applies to the group of members you want to email. For example, if you want to email all financial members, select the Financial Filter tab.
Note: To allow flexibility in building your recipient list, you can only email members from the specific Member List views listed below:
- By Product
- Add-on Products
- By Member Type
- By Organisation
- By Season
- Financial Filter
The first tab (Member List) does not include the ability to email members.
If needed, you can refine your recipient list further by using the filter options at the top of the list.
Step 3: Select your members
Use the CHECKBOX options on the left-hand side of the member list to decide which specific members will receive the email. Selecting the checkbox at the top of the list will select all members as per the filters applied
Step 4: Start the email process
Click the EMAIL MEMBERS button at the top of the list
Step 5: Confirm any last-minute changes to the recipients list
Confirm the recipients to whom you want to send the email, or add other recipients manually using the Add Another Recipient button. You can also choose to include parents (based on any parent/guardian details submitted by the member upon registration) in the email.
Click CONTINUE when you're ready to continue
Note: If you used the Select All checkbox on the member list, the Add Another Recipient button will instead allow you to Remove a Recipient
Step 6: Define the content of your email
Compose your email content from scratch using the Compose Message tab, or use the Select Template tab to select an existing Email Template to use as the basis of your message.
Click CONTINUE when you're happy to proceed with sending the message.
Note: The I confirm there is no marketing material in this email field is selected and locked off by GameDay. This helps ensure that emails are received by members, instead of landing in their spam or junk folder.
Step 7: Send your message
Review your message to ensure everything is correct, then click CONFIRM AND SEND
