With One Church Software you are able to create, view and send graphically rich emails. You can also create templates to use at any point in the future.

You can locate the email template section by selecting "Cog Icon" in the top right. Then select "Email" from the list of options, then select the tab titled, "Templates."

This shows a listing of email templates and associated information, such as if it's private, its category, and who created it.

To create a new email template, select the "Add Template" button.

​

This email builder uses drag-and-drop functionality, which allows you to designate an area within the email where you want text, images, etc., by selecting the element from the menu area on the right and then dragging it into the content area of the email.
​

Make sure to save it when finished building your email template.

A library of pre-built email designs can be easily imported into the system. This collection is curated by Unlayer and is updated periodically with new templates.

Start by creating an email. First select the "Send" icon in the top navigation bar or select the "Actions" button found in the People Module or after running a report via the People Query Builder (i.e. Reporting > Query Builder > People).

At this point, you will be working within the email client. From the email client select the icon that resembles the code written on the page (example below) in the tool bar.

When the window opens you will have the option to select a preexisting template from the dropdown menu.

You can insert the template into your email communication by selecting the "Insert" button.

You can also create a new template from here by selecting the cog icon on the right and then selecting "Add New."

Templates can be exported to PDF and HTML via the Export actions menu. Exporting can be done at any time even if the template hasn't been saved yet.

In addition, you can also set an email template to be accessible online. This is useful in case you want to have an online version of an email you send out. To make it accessible online, check the "Show online?" option. Once checked, the sharable URL will appear beneath.

A category field helps to better organize your templates. These can be thought of as folders. The email template listing also has a new filter for searching by category.
