Sending emails to your gym’s members and prospects has never been easier. General GymMaster clients can use their system to create email templates for sending personalised messages directly to your email list with the click of a button - or without your involvement at all, through the use of automatically triggered emails. The system also keeps track of what each of your members are being sent within the communications tab of the members page allowing you to easily see all email contact to your members directly within the software. Follow this quick guide to have your automated gym email set up and running in minutes

Creating your email template

First we need to create the email template. This is the email content template which will automatically personalize each email with content relevant to the specific audience. Click here for a guide on how to write the best content for your email.

Setting up the automated task
