How To Set Up A Basic Email Wrapper

What Is An Email Wrapper?

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. Although we recommend the Drag & Drop Email Editor it's still a good idea to create a Wrapper as these are applied to auto-generated emails, such as Donation Receipts, and Event Confirmations.

How Do I Create A Basic Page Wrapper?

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).

5. Once you've found the file you want to use click the BUILD WRAPPER button.

6. One your Wrapper has been generated it's a good idea to test out how it looks. Just enter your email address at the bottom of the page and click SAVE & SEND TEST.

7. Once you're happy with your Wrapper just click on the SAVE button and your email is ready to use.

How Do I Use My Wrapper In An Email?

When creating an email in the Visual/HTML email editor just choose the Wrapper you want to use from the drop-down menu above your email body. You won't see the Wrapper applied until you preview your email.

Now that your wrapper is set up you could apply it to automatic emails such as donation receipts by applying it in the Default Settings of your Action Network Group:
