Embed Code in Email for Videos, Surveys, etc.
Why can't we embed code in emails for Videos, surveys, etc. It really hampers the interaction and engagement with our members and contacts. Any timeline on this?

Custom macros for email blasts
Currently
Some organizations have positions like president, vice president, treasurer etc who are used int he signature lines of emails. The holders of these positions might change frequently (annually). This means that someone might have to be responsible to go through all emails and change them so that the name of the new person is used as the signature.Proposal
Give administrators the ability to create custom macros. These would be then be assigned a value as part of configuring the macro. Admin could then define what types of emails these should be available to (Membership, Events, All etc). When…24 votes -
Issue with the term "Email Blast"
I have noticed that some of our contacts have disabled the receipt of Email Blasts. They are OK with Event Announcements & Workflow Emails but they do not want any "Email Blasts". As a result they have missed important notifications.
I think the reason that they have disabled them is that the term "Email Blast" is kind of synonymous with "Junk Email". So could less negative name for bulk emails be devised ?

Integrate Email System with Social Media so announcements automatically post to Facebook & Twitter
It would be wonderful to have your email system offer the feature to automatically post email announcements to Facebook and Twitter. We recently switched from a free Mailchimp account to Wild Apricot and miss many of the features that Mailchimp's email system offered over WA. Basic integration with social media is a key feature needed in today's world. Please add an automated workflow between email and social media. Thanks!

Email templates
Please consider adding a search function to the email template page. In addition, it would be amazing if we could organize them into folders.

Marketing Automation for Emails
Marketing Automation is a really important and effective feature for building relationships with members, retaining members/customers, and building a brand.
Unlike one-off campaigns, automations are triggered when specific people meet the pre-defined criteria you set.
For example, you can introduce folks to your company with a welcome series, get repeat customers by sharing product recommendations, re-engage lapsed customers, send happy birthday messages, and more.
It would be ideal if WA offered a number of automation types with built-in triggers for common activities, with the ability to create a custom automation if needed.
Once you’ve chosen an automation, added your content,…

Change Default Font Size in New Email Editor
In the new editor, have the ability to change default font size and type and retain the setting so it does not revert to the default in each Text gadget created.

Universal Email Footer
Need more info in footer when sending email blasts. CAN-SPAM requires a valid physical address.
Good -- Allow editing of the default footer that is added to all email blasts.
Better -- Allow editing, and saving, of multiple footers that can be chosen from, and added, by name, to each email blast as it is created and sent.
Best -- Allow editing of a default footer that is saved with all saved searches. Then, when a saved search is used to send an email blast, the footer saved and sent with it can be edited, and re-saved.

conditional macro
Allow for Conditional Macros so I can eliminate text when a macro field is empty such as:
Dear {First Name} If{Second Name}<> null then "and " {Second Name}
this might result in:

Break out unsubscribes in email data summary
Currently, the summary of an email blast or event announcement shows total opens and clicks. Clicks are a good thing BUT in this case, the clicks include unsubscribes which is important information that might be skewing your analysis.
I would propose that clicks to unsubscribe be broken out so the summary says: total opens, clicks and unsubscribes.

push failed emails
Display a direct link/summary of failed email addresses in the in the Dashboard Summary screen. Currently, it appears that the only way to track/resolve bad email addresses for members is to remember to check the email log and look up the information manually. A reminder/summary in the Dashboard Summary would make this much easier and avoid bad email addresses being overlooked, since it appears there is no other "up front" way to notice them without having to go into the email log or a member's record.

secondary email address and email log
I think it's important to see the results of each email in the Email Log. The capability to CC to additional email addresses is a HUGE step forward. However, the Log does not include the additional email addresses. It looks as if they don't exist, there is no way to know it worked unless you include a QC profile.

If email failure rate is high, notify admin and/or sender
If an e-blast has an unusually high failure rate, notify the webmaster and/or the sender.
The notification should include instructions on how to see the failures and the error messages, how to discover the reason for a failure, and how to resend to the failed addresses.
The failure rate and who to notify could be user-configurable but should not default to nobody.
And URLs in the displayed Failure Text should be clickable.
This suggestion comes from having discovered that 15% of our e-blast last night was rejected by AOL and Yahoo. The error messages suggested resending, which worked. But if…

More Renewal Emails
Love most of the functionality of Wild Apricot.
In reading many sources, a lot of which are provided by Wild Apricot, I note that organizations that have a renewal rate over 80% typically have a never-ending cycle of renewal messages that go out - they start 30 days after someone renews their membership.
I would like to be able to have more than the minimal number of membership renewal emails that are possible now - is it 3 or 4, I don't recall at this second. It would be really good to have 10 renewal emails available.
Thanks

Recall Emails once they are scheduled and recall unopened emails
I found out after I had sent the blast email that there was some incorrect information in it. I would like the ability to recall any scheduled emails and unopened emails.

emails: choose a list of contacts and then manually be able to delete or add individual contacts to that list
Many many things. But one is the following. When sending an email blast I would like to be able to choose a list of contacts and then manually be able to delete or add individual contacts to that list. There might be someone who is in a list I made of donors that have donated since 2012 that I do not want to email this time. I can't seem to do that currently.

Enable an external person to send an email to a group within the organization
I would like to have a "Contact us" option (i.e., Scholarship Committee) that an external person (member/non-member) could use to contact a group of organization/board members. I envision someone clicking on "Scholarship Committee" within the "Contact Us" dropdown and being able to send an email to the entire Scholarship Committee.

Emailing a subset of event registrants
I'd love to be able to email a subset of event registrants based on responses in registration fields. For example, emailing only those registrants who have indicated they'll be bringing a guest. In other words, allowing for some advanced email filters on an event page, similar to the advanced search filters. Thanks!

save as template
I would like to see the option to save an email as a template from everywhere an email can be created. Currently, I have to go to the email log and create templates from there, which is fine if the email has been sent. But there is no option to save as a template when you are editing emails from events or membership levels. I want all of my emails to have the same look and feel. Currently, I have to make an email (announcement, renewal reminder, etc) and fudge the system so it sends the email to me (using…
