Adding Attachments to Emails

Quick Steps:

Method 1 - Tools > Documents

Method 2 - Website > Image Gallery

When sending an email, sometimes you will need to add an Attachment with additional information. While the WYSIWYG Editor does not allow you to upload attachments straight into the Email or Email Template, you can upload your documents into the STG Console and then link through to them from your email.

1. To upload a PDF, Word or other document, within the Management Console select Tools from the top menu, then Documents from the left menu.

2. Select Listing from the left menu, then click Add at the top of the page.

3. Upload the document as per the instructions found in Uploading a PDF or Other Document Types.

4. Once the document is uploaded, click VIEW next to the document in the listing and take the URL (the weblink) of the Document.

5. Create an email template as per the instructions found in Sending Emails to Members.

6. Enter some text that you wish the link to display as. 

7. Highlight the text, then click the chain icon in the WYSIWYG Editor. 

8. Paste your document link in the URL box, ensuring to select the correct protocol and also that there is no "http" in the URL box. Click OK. 

You can also upload an image to use in your email or template. See how to insert an image into your email by using the Insert Image icon in the editor and entering the URL of the image.

Note: When inserting document attachments to an email, don't forget to paste the URL of the document into the Plain Text area to ensure that those that receive Plain Text emails can still receive the attachment.
