Email Broadcasts
Broadcasts let you send one-time emails to your members. In Session, broadcasts are sent directly from the Page Editor - your page content becomes your email.
How Broadcasts Work
In Session, a page IS your email content. When you're ready to send:
- Create or edit a page with your email content
- Use "Send as Email" to broadcast it to members
This approach means your email content is also available on your site for members who missed it.
Sending a Broadcast
- Go to Pages in the main navigation
- Create a new page or edit an existing one
- Write your content using the block editor
- Save the page
- Click the dropdown menu (three dots or arrow)
- Select Send as Email
- Configure your broadcast:
- Subject - The email subject line (defaults to page title)
- From Name - How your name appears (optional)
- Reply-To - Where replies go (optional)
- Choose your recipients
- Click Send
Choosing Recipients
In the broadcast modal, you can send to:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| All Members | Everyone with active access |
| All Contacts | Your entire contact list |
| Specific Product | Members of a particular membership |
| Filtered List | Use the Recipients tab to filter and select |
Selecting Specific Contacts
- Click the Recipients tab in the broadcast modal
- Use filters to narrow down your list
- Select individual contacts with checkboxes
- Or use "Select All" for the filtered results
Preview Before Sending
Before you send:
- Click the Preview tab in the broadcast modal
- See exactly how your email will look
- Check formatting and links
- Return to Recipients to send
Broadcast History
Each page tracks its broadcast history:
- Open a page in the editor
- Look at the Distribution History section on the right
- See when the page was emailed and to how many recipients
Tips
- Write your page content as you want the email to read
- Use clear headings and short paragraphs
- The page title makes a good default subject line
- Preview before sending to catch formatting issues
- Broadcasts are sent immediately (no scheduling yet)
