Create a new email invitation
You can create multiple email invitations to suit the needs of your organisation, for example if you are running a season or festival that has its own brand identity, you might want to use that in the invitation to customers.
Whatever your design, your survey URL will be embedded in the email invitation, ready for customers to access your survey questions.
1. Navigate to the Surveys module in your application and go to the CUSTOMISE tab. This will reveal 3 further sub-tabs, navigate to EMAIL DESIGNER.
Here, you will see all the email templates that have been created by your colleagues along with the standard template that is a default in all accounts.
From this page you can EDIT, DELETE or PREVIEW an email template using the icons in the table.
2. To CREATE A NEW template, click the ADD NEW button.
3. A new screen will open, showing the preview pane on the right and the tools on the left. Changes you make on the left will update in the preview pane as you go along.
4. Give your template a name that will be useful to you and your colleagues. This is for internal use only.
5. The ENVELOPE fields will be seen by customers in their inbox so make sure these are customer friendly.

6. Upload your HEADER image. This will appear at the top of the email invitation for customers to see.
TIP: Graphics should be a maximum of 520 pixels wide and 50 pixels high.

13. Next, edit the setting for your email footer. This includes selecting the background colour, text colour and the message to customers.
All email templates must include an UNSUBSCRIBE link.
