Send Your eCard
Watch Video— Sending an E-Card (2:15)

You can add your eCard recipients, enter an email subject line and message and choose how you would like the recipient to receive your eCard notification in their inbox. Choose to send the eCard now or schedule it to be sent on a specific date.

Click on the 'info' button next to each section on the send screen to get more details on your options.

Creating your "Send List"

You can send eCards one at a time, or to up to 250 recipients at once.

If you have several thousand eCards to send, follow these steps. Send your eCard to the first 250 recipients. Every time you send or schedule a card, CorpNote will ask you, "What do you want to do now?" Select the 'Copy Card' option, and you will have an exact duplicate of your eCard ready to address to the next 250 people on your list. Repeat as needed.

Add recipient's to the send list using any of the following methods:

• Type your recipient's email addresses in the 'Email' text box, one email address per line. You can also copy and paste your list of email addresses (one per line) from another application or text file.
  
  
• When you are finished, click the 'Add Recipient(s)' button once, and your addresses will appear in the "Send List" below.
  
  
• You can continue adding addresses in this fashion, or you can add recipients from Groups or your Address Book.

• If you have added contacts to your Address Book, you can select recipients by clicking the 'Address Book' button. The address book will pop-up in a separate window in which you can search and select your recipients.
  
  
• After checking the box next to each recipient you want to receive the eCard, click the 'Add Contacts to Send List' button. (See example)
  
  
• If you decide you do not want to send your eCard to one of the recipients on the list, click the checkbox next to their email address, so that it is unchecked, and then click the 'Save Changes' button.

• If you have created groups, they will appear when you click the 'Add Group' button.
  
  
• You can see all the email addresses assigned to a group by clicking on the arrow box (See example)
  
  
• Check the box(es) next to the groups you want to send your eCard to and then click the 'Add Groups to Send List' button.

Email Message Options

1. Subject Line

The subject line is required, and it is the text your recipient sees when your eCard appears in their email inbox. Subject lines are limited to 80 characters, but brief is better. You want to make sure your recipient opens your message, so creating effective subject lines is very important. Click here for general tips, and read our Blog.

2. Email Message (optional)

The text that you enter here can be especially effective in convincing your recipients to click through to view your eCard or to let them know, in the case of an invitation or survey, that you value their response. Email message text is limited to 200 characters. It will appear next to a thumbnail image of your eCard design; or, if you are sending your card as 'text only' this text appears first.
See an example of how the Subject Line and Email Message appear to your eCard recipients.

3. Send the Email Notification 'With Images' (HTML), or as 'Text Only'

Select 'With Images' to send an email that contains a smaller image of the eCard design you are sending.

Select the 'Text Only' option if you think that your CorpNote email notifications might get caught in people's SPAM filters, or if many of your recipients are using text-only mail readers like cell phone applications.

4. Send Now or Select a Date

You can send your eCard immediately, or you can schedule a delivery date any day in the future.



Send Now is the default option. Click the 'Send Card' button and your eCard will be delivered immediately.
(NOTE: larger Send Lists take longer to send. Click the button only once.)

If you want to Select a Date in the future, then click on the small calendar icon to reveal the scheduling calendar. Choose your date and click the Send Card button to schedule delivery. (See bigger example)

Scheduled cards can be viewed by going to eCards > Saved/Scheduled. You can edit the card or change the delivery date any time before the eCard is sent.
