It just got easier for faith communities of all types and sizes to communicate important information—Faithlife.com now supports newsletters.
Group administrators, look for the “Newsletters” tab in the menu and you’ll find this new feature. It will be empty, since you haven’t sent any newsletters yet. Look for the “Send a newsletter” button on the right.
Clicking this button will lead you to the newsletter editor, which offers a handful of style options and content pods. Choose from text, members, and events.
When you’ve finished building your newsletter, send it from either the group or your personal account. If someone isn’t getting your newsletters, ask them to check their account settings. If they have unchecked the newsletters box for email notifications, they won’t receive your newsletters.
Start using the newsletters feature to communicate with your group today!
