Run Mailing Screen

The following table explains the items on the Run mailing screen. For information about how to access this screen, see Start an Appeal Mailing.

Screen Item	Description
Summary	This section displays the letters included in the appeal mailing. For each letter, you can view the name and the amount generated for each channel.
Create selection from recipients and Selection name	To create a constituent selection of the recipients included in the mailing, select this checkbox and enter a unique name to help identify the selection. For example, you can create a constituent selection to include in a follow-up mailing.
Email processing	For a mailing that contains email content, this section appears. Select when to send the email content to its recipients. To send the content at the time you run the mailing, select Send the email messages immediately when I run this mailing. When you select this option and run the mailing, Altru sends the messages when it next sends fundraising blasts to the Shared Services server hosted by Blackbaud. To send the content at a future date and time, select Send the email messages at a future date and time and enter when to send the messages. For example, if the appeal mailing includes both mail and email content, you may allow several days before you send email to better coincide with when mail recipients receive letters included in the mailing. To send the content at an undetermined date and time, select I will manually send the email messages. After you run the mailing, you can manually send its email content from the History tab of the mailing record. For information about how to send email, see Send Email Content for a Communication. For information about how to set up email services, see the Administration section of the help file.
