Email your students and newsletter subscribers straight from Forento with email broadcasts

Until now, reaching your whole audience meant exporting contacts into a separate email tool and keeping two lists in sync. With email broadcasts, you can write one email in Forento and send it to exactly the people you choose, right from your dashboard.

What's new

Open Email broadcasts in the sidebar and create a new broadcast. Choose who receives it:

• All students in your academy
• Customers of specific products, such as a course, video, downloadable, session, event, bundle, or membership
• Newsletter subscribers who signed up through a form on your website

You can combine audiences, and Forento sends each person the email only once, even if they appear in more than one group. Before you send, you see exactly how many people the broadcast will reach.

Write it in the editor you already know

Broadcasts use the same visual email editor as your automated student emails, with your academy's branding. Add {firstName} to greet students by name, send yourself a test, and then send it right away or schedule it for later.

After sending, the broadcast history shows how many people received each email and how many emails were skipped or failed. A scheduled broadcast can be cancelled before it goes out.

Built to respect your audience

Good email starts with people who want to hear from you, so we built that into broadcasts from the start:

• Every broadcast includes an unsubscribe link, and supported inboxes like Gmail show a one-click unsubscribe button.
• People who unsubscribe are never emailed again. You can see them on the Unsubscribed page, and you can add addresses yourself when someone asks you directly.
• Newsletter signups from your website are now confirmed by email, so only people who actually signed up end up on your list.
• Students can choose whether they want news and offers from your academy when they sign up, at checkout, and in their settings.

Tell us what you think

This is the first version of email broadcasts, and we're already working on what comes next. Let us know how you use them and what you'd like to see, whether that's audiences, scheduling, or anything else.
