Email tasks allow you to schedule templated emails to be automatically sent to your contacts.
Every morning at 2 a.m. (PST), our system will find any unsent email tasks scheduled for that day, or up to a week prior, and schedule them to send at 8 a.m. (your local time). At that time the email will be automatically sent and the task marked done.
If you create an email task scheduled for today’s date, it will automatically send after approximately 5 minutes.
When the email is sent, any merge codes in the template will be automatically populated with the appropriate information. For example, the contact.primaryPerson.firstName merge code will be replaced with the contact’s first name.
Visit the Emails tab of the contact record to see the sent email.
Important: To use this feature, first set up email integration. See Integrate Your Email Account for more information.
