Must know
- Communication → Email Campaigns is part of the CCM-parity feature set (Email Campaigns), so a migrated club has it. Viewing needs View Communication; sending needs Send Communication.
- Schedule for Later sends the campaign automatically within about a minute of the date and time you pick. The same plan allowance and broadcast-credit checks as Send Now apply at that moment. Save as Draft keeps it for later, and a draft’s row menu offers Send Now.
- Every campaign email carries an unsubscribe link. Someone who opts out of your club’s mail is skipped by every campaign, whatever its Classification — receipts and other transactional emails still reach them.
- Your plan’s monthly email allowance applies; if broadcast-credit metering has been enabled for your club, credits are checked too.
