How to send an email blast in Action Network

You can enter multiple subject lines if you want to test, but one is fine.

It's always best to identify where the email is coming from in the "From" line, so use something "You Name - Campaign".

Once you have filled in all the information click "Save and Target Your Email"

This is where you decide where the email is going to go. On the left are who your email is going to include, and on the right all the people it is going to exclude.

If you leave this blank it will go to everyone who is subscribed to your list.

You might want to send your email just to people who attended a certain event or signed a particular petition, you do that under "actions".  Simply click in the text box and find the event or petition you want to target (this also includes lists of manual uploads, so if you had an even that also included a list of names you manually uploaded, you would select both the event page AND the upload).

Once it has finished calculating the page will refresh. Make sure the number makes sense (if you had 50 people attend your event, but it says the email only go to 10 people, you might have done something wrong in the targeting so go back and check).

You should always send a test to yourself and proof read it carefully. Test all the links and then get someone else to do the same.
