It would be very helpful to add more features to the emails feature within Populi. Right now, it is very limited. I can't change the font, bullet points often don't format well, and it's very difficult to include pictures and graphics. This feature would make emails appear more professional.

Dr. Danuta Twardowska-Case I couldn't agree more! It's very convenient to send emails to students from Populi, but it's SO LIMITED. No icons, adding an image is VERY cumbersome! Formatting is quite limited. It would be very nice to change the color of the font - when emphasizing a particular phrase, etc.

Ashley Allen It's very difficult to add an images to emails and I have to copy and paste my email signature from Google to try to keep the icons formatted properly. Right now, it's easier to just export a list of students to email and just copy their emails into Google instead, but it's so time consuming.

Ryan Ward Another hearty Amen! If the communications area could be more robust - akin to MailChimp - that would be SOOO helpful. Our staff actually finds it limiting enough that they are finding workarounds via MailChimp. For instance, we send out a weekly "e-bulletin" to all our students. It is professional. It has image graphics for every single announcement. But we do it in MailChimp because of the limitations of Populi. However, this creates database issues for us that only get compounded when we look at our entire constituent database. I know this is a complicated area to increase functionality, but it would be hugely beneficial.

Holli Emore And I am really wanting to leave Constant Contact after nearly 2 decades, but I've not yet found instructions for how to insert a graphic in an email. So this is my amen, too!
