Create your recipient list

Navigate to Communication > Communication Hub > Emails. Select "NEW EMAIL" from the right side of the page.
Select Recipients: Select from “Parent” "Staff", “Camper”, or "Alumni" radio buttons under recipient type. Select the "Season" from the dropdown.
Choose camper statuses and sessions: select at least one of the options from the "Statuses" and "Sessions" menus.
Additionally, you have the option to filter by Program, Days of Operation, and Household menus.

Note: By default, Households are pre-selected in this filter, but remember that at least one option must be chosen to proceed to the email editor.

Advanced Filters

Refine your audience targeting with Advanced Filters, which offer a variety of recipient options similar to those in user reports.

Example: To filter campers by gender and school grade, click "ADD ADVANCED FILTERS" and hit "Select" under the Field column. Choose "Camper" in the pop-up, then select "Gender" and set it to "Equals Female."

Add additional Advanced Filter rows: If you add more filters, repeat this process by clicking Add Row.

Example: we added Camper, and filtered Camp Grade. We want to contact our middle school grades, so we will choose “is one of” and “6th, 7th, 8th” from the dropdowns.

💡Tip: You can add as many rows as needed, noting the “and/or” radio button at the top. In this example we have clicked “and” to ensure both criteria are met in the filter.

Form Filters

There are three Form field filters that show a list of people that meet both the required form criteria and form status.

Required Form Status: Similar to the existing "Missing Camper Forms Count" field, this will generate the status of any form marked as Required.
Not Required Form Status: The inverse of above, will generate the status of any form not marked as Required

💡Tip: Avoid pairing "Required Form Status" and "Not Required Form Status" together using the "and" qualifier. This will overload the system. Instead, use the "All Form Status" below.
All Form Status: This will generate the status for all forms Required and Not Required.

Form status status value can be any of the following for all three of the new fields:
- Unsubmitted = 0
- Incomplete = 1
- Submitted = 2
- InTheMail = 3
- Faxed = 4
- FaxedErrors = 5
- Uploaded = 6
- UploadedFromCIT = 7
When you have completed your choices, click Next at the bottom of the page.

Edit contacts list and add title

Choose and deselect specific recipients by ticking the box next to their name in the recipient list. You can edit the campaign name, subject line, and add Bcc recipients.

💡Tip: If necessary, you can upload and attach files from your computer in the right section of the pane. While there's no restriction on the number of files you can add, the total size of all attachments must not exceed 10MB.
