Create an Email
An email sent from the Emails menu is a one-off message to your contact list: a newsletter, an announcement, an offer, or any message you want to send to your audience at a specific moment.
Sending an email requires a Pro plan.
Creating an email
- Go to Emails in your dashboard and click Create email.
- Write your email in the editor. All the blocks made for emails are available (headings, text, images, buttons, etc.).
- Click Next to open the send window, then fill in the Subject line: the title of your email that recipients see in their inbox.
- Add a Preview line: the short line of text people see in their inbox before opening the email. A good preview line increases open rates.
Sending options
Before you send, the send window offers these options:
- AI subject line suggestions: the AI button inside the Subject line field gives you subject ideas based on your email content
- Send me a test: preview your email in your own inbox before sending to the full list
- Now or Later: under Sending, choose between the two. Now is selected by default. Later opens a calendar already set to the next available slot (at least 5 minutes from now, in your timezone). You pick the day in the calendar and the time from a list of half-hour slots, such as 09:00 or 09:30. A scheduled email can be rescheduled or canceled anytime before it sends.
- Publish as blog post: once the email is sent, it is also published as a blog post at an address like
yourdomain.com/blog/.... Your newsletter becomes a permanent article that people can find through search engines - Exclude contacts currently in an automation: a box under Exclude that skips the contacts who haven't yet received the last email of one of your automations, so you don't email them too often
Reading your list of emails
If an email is about one of your products, for example one of your launch emails, you can file it under that product: open the ⋮ menu at the end of its row and choose Attach to a product. Your list then shows one group per product, followed by Other emails for the rest.
Inside each group, emails you still have to deal with sit at the top: the scheduled ones first, then your drafts. Sent emails come after, whatever their date, since there is nothing left to do with them.
A colored dot before the subject tells you which is which:
| Indicator | What it means |
|---|---|
| Blue dot | Scheduled. The email will go out on its own at the date you picked. |
| Gray dot | Draft. You haven't sent it yet, and nobody has received it. |
| Yellow dot | Unpublished changes. The email is scheduled, but you have edited it since, so what will go out is the previous version. Open it and click Update. |
| No dot | Already sent. |
Hold your mouse over a dot to read its meaning without leaving the list.
Before it sends
The last button spells out what is about to happen: Send to 84 contacts, or Schedule for Jul 25 at 9:00 PM. Read it before you click.
When you click Send to ..., TinyPages shows a 6-second countdown before the email goes out. This gives you a brief window to cancel if you change your mind. After the countdown, the email is sent to your entire audience (or only to the contacts you targeted).
Daily sending limit
To protect your sender reputation (the trust mailboxes place in the address your emails come from, see Landing in the inbox), you can email up to 50,000 recipients per day in total. Once your own domain (your website address) is connected and verified for email, the limit goes up to 100,000 (see Custom domain). If an email would take you over that limit, the send window shows an error and nothing goes out: send it to a smaller audience, or schedule it for another day.
