Every email that Modular Mailer sends is based on a template. Use the Email Template Editor to create new email templates or to edit existing email templates used with Modular Mailer.

This page can be found through [Design > Modular Mailer (Bulk Email) > Email Templates > + ].

Select an Email Template

Use the dropdown menu to either create a new email template or to select a previously created template for editing.

Email Header Options

Subject
Enter text to appear in the subject line of the email.

From
Enter the email address to be used as the From email address.

BCC-To
Optionally enter an email address here to receive a blind carbon copy of each email sent using this template.

Plain Text Version of Message

Use this field to add the body of the email in plain text.

HTML Version of Message

Use this field to add the body of the email in HTML. Either paste in HTML code from a 3rd party HTML editor, or use the built-in HTML editor to create the HTML code on the spot.

tip

It is possible to use the Email Template Editor to send all text emails, all HTML emails, or both. If both are used, typically the recipient's email program will discard the text version if it is capable of reading HTML emails, or the HTML version if it can only read text versions.

Attachments

New in Modular Merchant version 4, is the ability to send file attachments with Modular Mailer emails. Use the Attachments section to configure the email template to send one or more files.
