Email Sending Options

Overview

Once email recipients are selected in ChamberMaster/MemberZone, there are two methods of sending the email.

1. Using ChamberMaster/MemberZone's built in email tool.
2. Using Microsoft Outlook (if installed on your computer).

Depending on your needs, you may choose to send some email directly from ChamberMaster/MemberZone and some from Microsoft Outlook. Each method has its own strengths.

Advantages to Sending Email with ChamberMaster/MemberZone

• Easy access if already logged in
• Gives access to current addresses in your database
• Ability to create “mail merge” emails
• Ability to embed attachments as links
• Ability to use templates
• Ability to schedule the email for future delivery (for users of the Plus edition or greater)

Advantages to Sending Email with Outlook

• Access to additional email addresses not in your database
• May add additional CCs and BCCs
• Familiarity

Both methods of sending email will record in the Communication History. See Recording Communication History for more information.

Note: This selection will open whatever the email program is set as the default for your web browser. Whatever email program opens when you click on a “mailto” link is the email program that will be used when you click Email with Outlook.
