When creating a Blast, you can alter Email Settings for a specific Blast inside the Blast Editor, allow you to change defaults for the Blast without applying them to others.
To access these settings, open the Blast Editor, click the ⋮ ellipsis button to the right of Exit, then click Email Settings. To learn more about your Cerkl Instance's global default settings: Blast Controls.
Below are the email setting options that you have for individual Blasts.
Reminder: Click Save after making any updates to the Email Settings to save your changes.
General
Private Blast
When Private is toggled on, the Blast is only listed and accessible by the Blast creator and Administrators of your Instance (inside both Blasts and Insights). To learn more, go to Private Blasts.
Please Note: This option is only available for Internal Organizations. External Organizations do not have access.
Suppress Auto-Replies
If your email is getting packed with Out-of-Office replies and other automatic replies in response to your Blasts, you have the option to suppress auto-replies.
When Suppress Auto Replies is toggled on, Broadcast will include a message header that attempts to stop email clients, such as Microsoft Outlook, from sending back auto-responses to the sender of a Blast.
Full Width Email
Toggling Full Width Email will limit formatting to basic elements, making your Blast appear as if it were sent from an app like Gmail or Outlook.
Full Width Email means your Blast's elements will span the full width of the email instead of being placed in the center of it. To learn more, go to Full Width Blasts.
Please Note: This option is only available for Internal Organizations. External Organizations do not have access.
Branding
Text
You can set the default Front-Family for the Text Elements you use in a Blast. The font options available in the drop-down are fonts that we know all email clients will render correctly.
Footer
Underneath the Footer Options header, you may see the following options that you can toggle on/off for your Blast: Append Organization Footer, Display Profile Image, Display Social Links.
When it comes to editing your footer, External and Internal Organizations have different options:
Both Internal and External
Turn Display Profile Image and Display Social Links on/off in the footer of the Blast.
Internal Organizations
Turn the footer in the Blast on/off (Append Organization Footer). The company owns all the emails they are communicating to.
External Organizations
They do not have the option to turn the footer in a Blast on/off because the information in the footer is required by law for external accounts sending to email addresses they don't own.
Personalization Fields
Fallback Text
Personalization Fields are a valuable way for your team to communicate information that is unique for each and every recipient. To learn more, read How to Use Personalization Fields.
Personalization Field Fallbacks are used as default information in Personalization Fields if a Subscriber does not have valid data for an attribute - Setting Fallbacks will help ensure your Subscriber's don't receive an email with text like *|FULLNAME|* by accident.
From this menu, you can set the fallbacks for Email, First Name, and Full Name for the specific Blast.
To change the default Fallbacks for any attribute enabled for Personalization Fields, go to your Blasts > Controls page. For more information, please review: Blast Controls - Personalization Fields.
