Communication sits at the heart of every thriving organization and community. Whether you're coordinating with volunteers, announcing upcoming events, sharing important updates, or connecting with your members, email remains one of the most effective ways to keep your community informed and engaged.
That's why we're thrilled to announce Sunergo Emails, a powerful new communication platform designed with community organizations in mind. More than just an email tool, it will help you organize communication across your different groups, maintain consistent branding across communications, and connect more effectively than ever before.
A New Way to Organize Your Communications
Every organization has multiple streams of communication flowing to different audiences. Your weekly newsletter subscribers, special interest groups, and program participants all need different types of information, delivered with the right tone and look. Sunergo Emails makes managing these various communication streams fun and easy through a powerful feature called Channels.
Think of each Channel as a dedicated communication stream with its own personality. For example, you might have one Channel for your weekly updates going to hundreds of subscribers, another for a small support group, and yet another for announcing special events to interested community members. Each Channel can have its own level of public visibility, its own visual identity or branding, and its own subscriber management approach.
What makes Channels especially powerful is their flexibility in reaching your audience. You can choose to make certain Channels publicly subscribable through dedicated Channel pages, where interested people can sign up and even browse past communications. For broader reach, you can add selected Channels to a Public Subscription Form, which invites community members to discover and subscribe to the types of communications that interest them. Meanwhile, other Channels can remain private for more focused group communications. Each Channel can even have its own return contact address, ensuring replies go to the right person in your organization.
This approach puts you in control of who receives what information, while making it easier than ever for your community to stay connected with the content that matters to them.
Create Professional, Consistent Communications
Your visual identity is a subtle but important part of your communications. Sunergo Emails makes maintaining this identity easy with Brand Kits, which capture all your essential branding elements - from logos and colors to fonts and button styles.
Each Channel can have a unique Brand Kit, allowing you to customize the look of emails to different groups while staying consistent with your overall brand. Once you've set up a Brand Kit, you can reuse it across multiple Channels, saving time and ensuring consistency in your communications.
Best of all, Brand Kits are flexible. While they provide a consistent foundation for your emails, you can still fine-tune individual elements when composing specific messages, giving you the perfect balance of consistency and creativity.
Connect with the Right People at the Right Time
Building and managing your email lists should be simple and flexible. Sunergo Emails gives you multiple ways to grow and manage your audience, whether you're starting fresh or bringing over existing subscribers.
Each Channel has its own audience, and you can build these audiences in ways that best suit your needs. For existing contact lists, simply paste in your email addresses to quickly set up your subscriber base. Need to add individual contacts? You can do that too.
Want to let the individuals in your community choose what they receive? Make your Channel subscribable through its dedicated Channel page, where interested people can sign up directly. For broader reach, add your Channel to the Public Subscription Form, where visitors can discover and subscribe to multiple communication streams at once. This self-service approach not only saves you time but empowers your community members to manage their own inbox.
This flexible approach to audience management means you can maintain separate subscriber lists for different purposes while giving your community control over what communications they receive.
Craft and Send Beautiful Emails with Ease
Creating engaging emails shouldn't be complicated. Sunergo Emails provides a straightforward block-based editor that lets you build professional-looking messages using simple building blocks - headings, text, images, buttons, and dividers. Arrange these elements exactly how you want them, with the flexibility to create multi-column layouts for more sophisticated designs.
Need to ensure your email looks perfect on every device? Preview your message in both desktop and mobile views before sending, or send a test version to yourself for a final check. This preview capability helps you catch any formatting issues before your message reaches your audience.
Want to save time on recurring communications? Any email can serve as a template - simply copy it to create a new message with the same layout and styling, then update the content as needed. You can even copy emails between Channels, making it easy to repurpose your best designs across different audiences.
When it comes to sending, you're in control. Send your message immediately or schedule it for later. Each Channel keeps your drafts, scheduled emails, and sent messages organized in one place, making it easy to manage your communications timeline. And if you need to make changes to a scheduled email, you can modify it up until an hour before the scheduled send time.
