Edit Administrative Settings for Emails or Email Templates

Updated over 2 months ago

You can edit these administrative settings for email templates and unsent email messages:

  • Email name

  • Purpose

  • Type

  • Subject

  • From Name

  • From Email

  • Email Interests (unsent email messages only)

  • Whether to allow blank merge fields (unsent email messages only)

Note: Once an email is sent to recipients, it is locked to preserve a record of the message, settings, and recipients and cannot be edited further. Test emails sent using the Send Test Email button remain open for editing.

Edit Email Settings

To edit email settings:

  1. Click Communications.

  2. Click Emails.

  3. Open the unsent email or email template you'd like to edit.

  4. To edit the name, click the Edit icon

    Edit pencil icon

    next to the name. This name helps you manage your email or email template list in Bloomerang CRM. Recipients don’t see this name.

  5. To edit the Purpose, select an option from the list. Read more about email purposes.

  6. To edit the Type of email, select one of these options from the list: Constituent, Interaction, Transaction. The type determines the merge fields and filters available for this email.

    Important: When you change the email type, Bloomerang CRM checks whether you’re using this email as a custom confirmation email for any online forms. Bloomerang CRM also checks whether your email message or template contains type-specific merge fields or data tables. Before you can change the email type in these cases, Bloomerang CRM prompts you to select a new confirmation email for online forms and delete type-specific merge fields and data tables.
