Email Sending Options

Overview

Once email recipients are selected in ChamberMaster/GrowthZone, there are two methods of sending the email.

1. Using ChamberMaster/GrowthZone's built in email tool.
2. Using Microsoft Outlook (if installed on your computer).

Depending on your needs, you may choose to send some email directly from ChamberMaster/GrowthZone and some from Microsoft Outlook. Each method has its own strengths.
