HTML Email

From the menu bar, click Maintenance > General Maintenance > HTML Email or press Alt N G H on the keyboard.

"HTML Email" is used to store the code for various html emails you would like to send to your customers in AIMsi. HTML emails work great for marketing promotions as you can use images, color, different fonts and formatting styles. "HTML Email" is not an html editor so you would want to use a separate application for creating the email, then copy/paste the source here in order to enable you to send the email to contacts in your AIMsi database.

  1. To create a new HTML Email form, access the HTML Email window (see above) and click Add.
  2. Enter a subject for your email in the Subject box, just as you would in your standard email editor. For example, you might enter Sale ending soon! or 25% off all items this Saturday only! This text is what you'll see when you select an email in Mailing Letters. It is also added as the Subject: line in the emails you send.
  3. Add the body text for your email. For special formatting, we suggest writing your body text in a text editor (such as Microsoft Word) and do any special formatting there. Then, copy and paste the text into this box. Otherwise, you can simply type your content.
  4. Click Save. You can now access this email form from the Mailing Letters window. You'll find it on Tab 1. Select HTML Email as your output type, then select your new email in the HTML Email box on the left side of the window.
