Because netFORUM Pro includes a built-in email system, you can send email from both netFORUM Pro and Higher Logic Thrive Marketing Professional (Thrive Marketing Professional). Here are the specifics you need to take into consideration:
- If you're using the integration, and you're creating emails using the eMarketing Setup Wizard in netFORUM, these emails will always be sent from Thrive Marketing Professional.
- When you send an email from netFORUM, there is an envelope icon that displays when viewing a list result, mailing list result, and search result.
- All transactional mailings will be sent from netFORUM, not Thrive Marketing Professional. These ignore the do not contact by email checkbox. Anything attached to the shopping cart is a transactional mailing. There is an option to turn off the email confirmation, but this confirmation is "on" by default.
- You can create and send correspondence through netFORUM. You'll need to use a Messaging Template to do so (mass marketing mailings are always sent via Thrive Marketing Professional; other mailings are still sent via netFORUM if desired).
- Thrive Marketing Professional cannot advise you how to send emails, unless they're directly related to our integration. If you need support or guidance on how to send an email out of netFORUM (using a method other than the eMarketing Setup Wizard), reach out to Abila directly.
Conclusion
Selecting the right tool for the job is an important question to consider as you assess the netFORUM Pro email tool. If you have any questions, please create a case.
