Start by uploading your PDF to the Media Library

• You can either drag and drop the file from your computer onto the area of the dialog box marked Drop files here, or click the Select Files button to locate and upload the file from your computer.
• Once it is uploaded, click on ‘edit’
• Now you will want to copy the file URL

From the Email Center:

• Compose your email
• Enter the text that you would like users to click on in your email (ie: “Click here to learn more »” or “Download flyer here”)
• Now highlight that text and click on the ‘Insert Link’ icon
• Paste in your file URL and click ‘Add Link’
• Send yourself a test email to confirm it looks & works the way you want it to.

We don’t recommend that you embed a YouTube video into an email due to the size. Instead we suggest you add an image of the video and hyperlink the image.

When you are in your YouTube account, you can click on edit video. From here you can save one of the Thumbnail images that YouTube offers to your desktop.

Once saved, you can use the directions above to add an image to your email.

Once your image has been added to your email, you can highlight the image and click the ‘Insert/Edit Link’ button.

Then add in the URL to your video, check the box to Open link in a new window/tab and click ‘Add Link’.

It’s a good idea to let your patients know to click the image to view your latest video. Example.

We recommend sending yourself a test email before sending it out to your subscribers.

Now you are all set!

If you have a flyer or a document that you would like to send to your patients but you want it to look exactly like the document, you will need to convert the document or PDF to an image (JPG) first.

There are a couple of sites you can use to help you do this:
» Zamzar or smallpdf.com will let you convert your text document (.doc or docx) directly to a JPG.
» Ilovepdf.com will let you convert your PDF to a JPG.

Here’s a video showing how to convert a text document to an image.

Once your flyer has been converted into an image, you can upload it and add it to your email (You can follow the step by step directions above on how to add an image to an email.)

After you add the image, it will actually be too large so you will need to resize it to make it smaller by clicking on it and finding the corner. You will need to grab the box and drag it inward.

Once the image is smaller click on it, then scroll to the very top left hand side and look for the pencil icon. Click on the pencil.

Click on Custom and resize your image to 640px wide. This size fits nicely in an email.

Once done, send yourself a test email so you can make sure you like the way it looks.

When you are happy with it, you can send, save to draft or schedule your email for a later date.

Once you have selected to send your personalized email to your subscribers the email is added to the queue and will send on the upcoming hour (or very closely to it). For example, if you clicked the Send button at 10:35am your Personalized Email will send close to 11:00am. The queue is in place to ensure optimal email deliverability.
