- NewsFlash Message: The NewsFlash page is updated just like a
Homework page: you type in the multi-line text box and click either the "Submit Update" button
or the "Submit & Send Email" button.
- "Submit Update" button: Click this button to update contents of your NewsFlash page, without sending notification to your recipient list.
- "Submit & Send Email" button: This function is only available on paid webs, or on webs with account codes.
Click this button to update the contents of your NewsFlash page,
and send a notification to members of your distribution list.
To get started with this feature, add one or more recipients by clicking the "Create/Edit Email List For This Page" button
or click the "Checkbox" to allow recipients to add themselves to your distribution list.
- "Create/Edit Email List For This Page" button:
Each NewsFlash page has its own email distribution list.
Click this button to add, delete, or modify recipients in your distribution list.
Note: Clicking this button does not update the NewsFlash message.
- Email Subject: Before you send an email, you should enter a subject.
- Email From Name: Before you send an email, you may enter your first and last name,
so that when recipients receive your email, they will know who the sender is.
- Text Message: This is what your recipients will see if they have chosen to
receive the NewsFlash as a cell phone text message. In addition, those people receiving your NewsFlash via
email will receive this message along with the link to your Worknotes® site NewsFlash page. In this way, you can write a
short message to your recipients telling them why you would like them to visit your site.
Due to text messaging constraints, this message must be short and concise (120 characters or less), but the main
NewsFlash message published to your web can be as long and detailed as you like.
- Checkbox: You can select the checkbox to allow others to enter their email
address themselves. Checking this creates an "Add Email Address or Mobile Device" button at the bottom of
the NewsFlash page, which allows viewers to add themselves to this page's email distribution list.
Remember, you can add, edit, or delete any email address by clicking the button "Create/Edit Email List For This Page".
- Email Recipients: The recipients will all be blind-copied (bcc'd) so
the email addresses of all recipients will be kept private.
- Your email copy: When you send an email, you will always receive a copy of
any NewsFlash email updates you send to your distribution list.
- Bad mail addresses: If there are any bad or invalid email addresses in your
distribution list, you will receive notification that the email address "bounced" or the message was "undeliverable".
You should correct any invalid email addresses by clicking the button "Create/Edit Email List For This Page".
Note: (Hotmail users and users who do not receive a copy of their NewsFlash email should
see http://WorkNotes.com/Help.htm#q51)
