General Messages

Step 1: Send General Message

You can send a branded message (with your chosen Network logo at the top) or start from scratch (without the logo) with our different theme options.

But we’ll cover each customization option one by one.

Fill out the following required fields:

Subject
- Enter the subject line for your email.
Message
- Customize content using available tools:

Undo & Redo Actions
Blank Theme, Logo Theme, or Branded Theme (your selected brand colors, etc.)
Format text as Heading 1, Normal text, Quote, Code Block, etc.
Change Text Color, Bold or Italicize text
Underline, Strikethrough, code, etc.
Align text
Create a list
Decrease / Increase Indent
Insert a Link, Image, Emoji, Button or Divider
Add Macros (Example: {first_name} - recipient first name.)

Quick Reminder

The list of macros will differ depending on the recipient and the sender. Not all macros are available for your setup and selected Audience.

Step 2: Build your Audience

The audience list determines who will receive your email, based on the conditions you set. You can create a new audience or use an existing one.

To build a new audience, click

Add Audience Group

and choose from the following options:

Network

Partner

Advertiser

After selecting your audience group, set up an Audience Rule to include or exclude recipients based on specific conditions. For example:

All

Created (within a specified time interval)

From the following list (select one or more users to include or exclude)

Has logged in between (specific time interval)

Having any of the following roles (role-based filtering)

Find the Full List of Conditions Here‍

To segment the Audience, you can add Audience Rules and corresponding Conditions. Here, you can Include and Exclude various Audience Rule Conditions.

The following Conditions are available for each group:

When multiple rules are added to one group, the rules will have an AND operator, meaning that the recipients added to the list will need to match every rule within the group.The current recipient list is displayed in the right panel.

You can use this to search and verify that the correct people are set to receive the message based on the rules you've configured.‍

If multiple groups are added, each group has an OR operator, meaning that the recipients added to the list will include all emails that match any of the groups.

Step 3: Review and Send

This step allows you to preview the content that each recipient will receive, as well as review your audience list. You can select individual recipients to see what they will receive.

You can then choose to:

Save the message as a draft.

Send the message immediately.

Schedule the message for a future date and time.

Additional Options:

Save Audience Rules: (enter a name to save the audience rule for future use)

Save as Template: (enter a name to save the entire message as a template - this option, however, does NOT save the Audience Rules. Templates only save the actual message and the Subject Line)

Schedule:

Select the date and time zone for when you want the message to be sent.

Same additional options as above (Save Audience Rules, Save as Template).

Send Now:

Send your message immediately.

Same additional options as above (Save Audience Rules, Save as Template).

*Top Audiences - Audiences most used in the past 100 days.

Offer Details Message

You can include specific Offer information in your direct messages to Partners. Here's how:

Navigate to

Direct Messages > Offer Details

and select the

Share Offer

option.

Choose one or more Offers you want to share with your Partners, then click

Select the recipients for your message. Recipients are the group of users who will receive the direct message containing the Offer details.

Heads Up!

Offer details can only be sent to Partners in your selected Audience.

Create a custom Offer Content section by adding text, links, macros, and other custom elements. You can use macros like {offer_description}, {Offer_id}, and other Offer-related placeholders to dynamically insert an Offer.

These details will be repeated for every Offer selected in previous steps.

Enter a subject line and select a theme if you want to use one.

Optionally, schedule the message for a specific date and time.

Write the overall content for the message body, separate from the Offer Content section you created earlier.

This will only appear once.

Once you've completed these steps, you can review and send your message containing the Offer details to the selected recipients.

Note

To comply with anti-spam regulations in various parts of the world, two links are automatically included at the bottom of every email:

1. An unsubscribe link

2. A link to manage your notification settings on Everflow‍

You can add an additional unsubscribe link within your message body using the {unsub_link} macro if desired, but this does not affect the automatic links at the bottom of the email.
