Question/answer » How do I send a newsletter to the family?

Not everyone looks in the archive regularly. With a newsletter you bring the archive to the family, by e-mail. This is a feature of the Plus subscription.

What is in a newsletter?

A newsletter has two parts:

• A part you write yourself. For example a call to send in photos, or an announcement of a family day.
• A part Family Archivist fills in automatically: what has been added recently, how many photos and stories the archive has, and a link to the archive.

How to send a newsletter

1. Go to Newsletters in the management menu.
2. Write your own text.
3. Choose the recipients. You can tick all participants, or some of them.
4. Check the preview and click Send.

The newsletter is sent in your name and with your e-mail address as sender. So participants can simply reply.

Good to know

The last five newsletters stay in the archive. Participants can read them back there. A newsletter contains no images; for that you use a news item.
