Using Friends/affilates and Prospects

Hello,

I want to keep a guest book and send periodic emails. I realize they must agree to opt-in. I would like to create my own opt-in message for those that are either on the guest or friends list. It needs to be different than the one that I use to invite members, and it needs to be able to allow an attachment. (like a membership application) If not, what does it say and can I customize it?

Also, are guests and/or friends allowed to sign up for roles? (I am hoping the answer is yes.)

Thanks,
Daniel

We do not allow customization of the opt-in email that is sent--that is system generated and is intentionally a fixed format that we control.  You do have control over the welcome email that is sent to new members.

Once your guests, prospects or friends have opted in, you can send them an email which you can save as a template for later re-use. See basic email section here:  support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/m...nel#membership-tools

You can't add an attachment, but if you save upload the document in File Manager, you can get the URL for that document and put the link in your email.
See  support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/linking-to-files

Alternatively you can send an email with an attachment to the group via your system email client.

Non-members can't sign up for roles, but your VPE or Toastmaster can assign roles to them by using a dummy member - create a member with no email address as a placeholder to use on your agenda..
