Send Through Email 

The second method of sending welcome letters is done through the Unit File.  This option is best used when a new resident is added to your property, an existing resident has misplaced or has otherwise lost access to their previous welcome letter, or has not registered in the past and would like to do so now.  The welcome email sent via this method cannot be customized. 

Editing Email

When sending welcome letters via email there will be a box for you to modify the content of the letter as shown below. The information in [ ] will automatically fill depending on your workspace.  The users unit number and access code will be automatically filled from the unit file.  The access code is unique for each user and can only be used once to register their account.  When you are ready to send your welcome emails you must click "I agree" and then the "Send" button.  Once you have done so the welcome emails will be sent to the associated email address for each user you have selected to receive it.
