Inserting Files to Emails
For Email & Letter Templates, you can also choose to insert a file or an image to the email. This is great if you want to include a header and a footer image for your email template, but not for your general emails that you want to send in your Elvanto account. Learn more about inserting files to emails.
Using Placeholders
You can use placeholders in the Email & Letter template for Elvanto to insert values in the placeholders that you place in the email. This is particularly handy if you want to send a personalized bulk email to 150 people at your church. Read this article for more information about using placeholders.
Lockdowns
