Customizing the contents of each email
Once you have created an ambassadors/press channel, you will be able to change some settings such as the 'from name' or email address and choose whether to include the options of downloading the published article and sharing it on social media.
Enabling an ambassador/press channel for an article
Step 1. Navigate to your articles page and open an article by clicking on the Edit link (or create a new article by clicking on the + new article button).
Step 2. Once you are ready to publish your article, head over to the Audience tab to activate your Ambassadors channel from the channels list. You can activate several Ambassadors lists if you want to send the email to several groups of people.
Step 3. Here you will see a preview of the email. Feel free to customize the message and subject to make them personal and unique.
Step 4. Publish/schedule the article to all of your channels, including the Ambassadors channel. Emails will then be sent out to all of your contacts within the list(s).
Receiving an Ambassadors email
The contacts inside the list or lists that you have activated in the previous step will receive an email, that will look similar to this:
By clicking on the cover image or the text, they will be redirected to the blog article on your blog/website.
To share the content on their own network, they just need to click on the social media buttons right above the cover image to create the post on the selected platform.
