Q: I am new WahmCart user and have my mailing list set up, but I’m having problems sending a Broadcast Email. Do you know how to do this?

A: Broadcast emails are beneficial for times when you have some sensitive information to send, but don’t want to add it to an auto responder series due to time constraints or other issues or limitations.

Here are the necessary steps in sending a Broadcast Email with WahmCart:

1.    Login to your WahmCart Account

2.    Choose Follow-up –> Send Email

3.    The next screen is where you need to type your email and send it to your list

Now, here is a simplified step-by-step process you need to follow in order to create and send the email:

Step 1

Choose the formatting for your message.  This will either be Plain Text (Default) or HTML

Step 2

Go to your dropdown list and choose the list you wish to send the broadcast to.  There is also an option to send to all of your lists just in case you should have multiple lists in our WahmCart Account.

Step 3

Schedule the date and time you want your email to be sent out.

Step 4

Put the appropriate subject in the subject line and remember to insert first or last name using the buttons above the subject.

Step 5

Put the contents/body of your message along with any additional information from the insert buttons above the body text box.  (This may include first name, last name, email, URL, company or date).

Once you have everything entered, you can preview your message by clicking the preview message button.  This will enable you to see how your message will appear to those who receive it.  Double check everything and once the message appears the way you desire, click Send Message.
