Customizing your Welcome Email is an easy way to create a great first impression of your News Digest. We’ve highlighted each customizable piece in the image example below.

When you have an idea of what you would like to modify, contact your Implementation Project Manager, Customer Success Manager, or reach out to the Customer Support's Live Chat to make the adjustments.

Layout Options

You can have up to 3 sections included in the Welcome Email for users to see more information about personalization: Interests, Schedule, and Authors. Each of these can be enabled or disabled on request.

Image and Text Customization

The icons for each section are square dimensions. These icons can be customized to use custom organization images. Whether your images are larger or smaller, they will be cropped and resized to send as a 417 x 417 pixel image. File Size Limit: 200kb.

Text within the Welcome Email is customizable, including the Section Headers and Description text. These parts of the email all have character limits, but support spaces, symbols, and emoji - html is supported.

Text Character Limits

  • Intro Header: 100 Characters

  • Intro Text: 500 Characters

  • Headers: 100 Characters

  • Section Description: 500 Characters

  • Button Text: 100 Characters

  • Custom "Do Not Forward" Footer Message: 200 Characters
