SESSION UPDATE
There have been major developments since PSG first hosted this webinar on the future of email for Raiser’s Edge users.
The Constant Contact direct integration is no longer available to new clients, and Blackbaud announced big changes around email functionality and marketing modules.
In this updated session, PSG experts will explain what has changed and share our best advice to organizations looking to understand email capabilities both inside and outside of Raiser’s Edge.
What’s the best way to send bulk emails if your organization uses Raiser’s Edge?
For many Blackbaud customers, the answer has been to use Online Express Email. But Online Express is headed for retirement next year, and Raiser’s Edge NXT doesn’t have the same email features and functionality.
So, what is your nonprofit to do? Should you stick with Raiser’s Edge email or use a third-party provider like Mailchimp or Constant Contact? And how does Luminate Online play into all of this?
Join PSG experts as they walk through your email options and give practical advice on what will work best for your organization.
Attendees will learn:
- When is Online Express going away?
- Why doesn’t NXT email have the same functionality, and will it get better soon?
- What’s up with the partnership between Blackbaud and Constant Contact? How does that work?
- Do you need a bulk email provider, or can you use automation to accomplish the same goal?
- And more!
