I wish I could email our whole event listing for a year instead of only emailing one event at a time. Similar to event gadget but in email instead so I don't have list, reformat, and provide links to accomplish the same task. Very time consuming if you do more that 10 events a year which we do. Thank you for your consideration

Yes, want this. Having it based on tag would be important for us.

There's a big difference between seeing the gadget vs having the events on a newsletter displayed so that one can scroll down and see the actual event picture and information. The gadget isn't engaging. All of the information is loaded into the site, is there a way to make it look nice when we add it?

Compare how the event gadget looks: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ljsqgh6cics2449/2016.09.27%20Wild%20Apricot%20-%20how%20the%20upcoming%20events%20gadget%20looks.png?dl=0

To what the event could look like:

I have a significantly difficult time creating the newsletters. We always include upcoming events. Each time I need to manually copy and paste every event along with adding the picture of the event flyer and setting the settings for the picture. This is insanely time consuming for me as a volunteer and I fear that the difficulties I experience with this will prevent the next board member taking over this task from wanting to use Wild Apricot. I'm hoping you can help.

It would be great to have a feature that I can drop into a mailing to automatically add events with perhaps 3 visual options for how it will appear in the mailing. One can drop in the upcoming events, choose the visual look for these events from a few options, and choose an start and ending date to select a range of events to put in. For instance, my events page on my website might have events for the whole year but my newsletter may only want to add events for the upcoming month or 2.

Attached is an example of how I place the events into my newsletter:

In addition I'm including a link for 2 videos in dropbox for you to view showing some additional difficulties.

The first shows how I typically have to copy and paste text into the newsletter. This text often crumples up into a black blob. I've found that using the back arrow will fix this however it's an extra step and especially frustrating when you can't figure out a work around for it.

The next shows how the newsletter/mailing very often loses its formatting. VERY frustrating. When I hit delete to remove some extra space at the top of an item the font size and bold disappears. I then need to go back and fix this. Again, too time consuming.

There are other items I'd like to point out and get fixed but this is where I'll end it for today. Hopefully you can assist. Thank you.

Good feature. But how to specify the number of upcoming events to be listed?

And it would also be nice to specify a keyword and then only include events with that keyword.

A macro with the same functionality as the Upcoming Events gadget would be really useful.

It would mean we could easily drop in a list of upcoming events with links into our email newsletters.

Thankyou.

Allow us to add recent posts and recent events gadgets into email blasts.

Allow use of gadgets in designing blog posts and emails.

Rick, where did you see that the roadmap shows that? Here is the roadmap: http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Product+roadmap

The roadmap shows 2Q2016 for possible gadget capabilities in e-mails. Any updates or details you can share?

I would LOVE to be able to import Events into a newsletter!

Gadget field in email template to display upcoming events and allow members to click on the link to take to event registration

Automatically created events newsletter created by selecting events from your events page.
We have to manually copy paste every time we do a newsletter and it is a time investment we'd like to avoid.

Create a newsletter template that automatically imports a date range of events with their pictures and wording. We send a weekly eNewsletter to our members which contains all the events relative to that week and the next. It is incredibly time-consuming now, and it requires knowledge of HTML (of which I have just enough to be dangerous!)

It would also be FANTASTIC a newsletter that would automatically import events and their details according to a date range. So I could say import my events for Sep 1-15. What a life saver that would be.

See our plans and current status here:

any updates on this? it would be a great way to reduce manual efforts of composing a newsletter.

Thank you, Shelbi!

I agree that Option 1 would add some value until Option 2 is available.

In our current situation with Roadmap 2014 http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8827717-roadmap-2015-plans-releases-expected-dates , there is no chance that we can release "Idea 2" - embedding gadgets into email composing screen same way as we're doing it in page editing in the new version 5.

BUT! We still have capacity to implement idea 1 - just adding several new macros, that cannot be previewed right away when one is composing email, but can be previewed before sending the email.

We believe that "macro" approach will still add some value, while not the best option in the long run. Would you agree or you would rather wait for the "proper" implementation?
