An Email Wrapper is a quick and easy way to add your local party branding to your emails. It adds a header and footer to your email when using Visual/HTML mode.

1. From the START ORGANIZING menu click on DETAILS. Then from the menu that appears move your mouse over Emails Wrappers & Layouts and click on the + icon.
2. Give your Wrapper a name– one that makes it clear which Wrapper it is so other admins can easily identify it by name.
3. Click on the grey bar labelled AUTO-GENERATE WRAPPER.
4. On the next screen click on Browse for a file and select the image you want to use (usually your local party logo).
