Altru email notifications: purchased

[Jessdwilson]

@kpettinga you had mentioned that the only emails that can be controlled through Altru are the ones that get sent to customers after they make a purchase. The client asked if we could take a look and see if the email notifications that get sent out could have the same header and fonts that the Altru webforms are using

For reference, here are a few ways that the client currently sends emails through Altru:

• Automatic emails which are generated confirmations sent to a constituent after making a donation, becoming a member, registering for a program, or purchasing a ticket

• Appeal emails soliciting membership or donations or whatever else we want the email to be for

• Event/program invitations/general marketing use (Big Tent Jubilee, Stowe Leadership Circle Receptions, Champagne and Chocolates…)

The client changed our role in Altru and added events manager and marketing manager so we might be able to see how to create an HTML newsletter in Altru, if you could take a look when you login it would be under Marketing and Communications.

Our client contact is working on making a case to her boss for avoiding using Altru for email newsletters in favor of a service like Mail Chimp, I know that there isn't the ability to do any testing or quality control with the email newsletters produced through Altru, if there are additional concerns we can relay let me know.

@Jessdwilson, given that there's no way to test these emails, we should try to do everything we can in the wysiwyg editor provided. Images are pretty easy to add so I've made on for the header image that is identical to the form pages. Font customization for the body text can be done with the WYSIWYG tools as well. Basically it should all just get switched to Georgia.

Below is a preview of what i was able to do. Will that work? The client should really try to figure out a way to preview these in an email client.
