Configuring settings and sending your newsletter
In the Email settings section, you can:
- Add an attachment (it will be displayed as a link at the bottom of the email)
- Limit recipients based on their registration date. For example, you can send the newsletter only to contacts who have been registered for at least one week. Newer contacts will not receive it, even if they have the selected tag
- Select contacts by tag
- Exclude contacts by tag – contacts with these tags will not receive the email, even if they have a tag from the 'Include' section

To personalize the email, you can use special codes to include details such as a contact's name, email, etc. These will be automatically replaced by the contact's actual details when the email is generated and sent.

Saving, sending, and scheduling your newsletter
Once the newsletter is completed and configured, you can:
- Save and test - to save your newsletter and receive a test email
- Save and send - to save and immediately send your newsletter
- Save and schedule - to save and schedule your newsletter to be sent on a specific date
- To receive test emails, you must first verify your sender email address as described here.

- Save draft - to save your newsletter.
- Create an A/B test - to create an A/B test for your newsletter
Exit - to exit your newsletter

- Newsletters are based on tags. This applies even if they have other included tags. A single excluded tag prevents the contact from receiving the email.
- If a contact has an excluded tag, they will not receive the newsletter, even if they also have tags from the 'Include' list. A single excluded tag overrides any included tags.
