Email drafts

Wild Apricot lets you save an email you are working on so you can finish it or send it at a later time. You can send it manually or schedule it for delivery at a particular date and time. For instructions on creating an email, see Sending manual emails.

Viewing and filtering email drafts

To view a list of your email drafts, hover over the Email menu and click Emails, or just click the Email menu. The Emails list that appears will display all your unsent messages, including both scheduled emails and unscheduled email drafts.

To view your sent emails, go to the email log.

For each message, the subject of the email is displayed, along with the creation date, and the name of the person who created it.

You can filter the Emails list in several ways:

  • To show only those messages whose subject or details matches a particular search string, enter that string in the Quick search field. https://cdn.elev.io/file/uploads/jEC8HySvDwISUdSg8iqChOB9kMRsiM1RCnIFiA0173M/4D9PmBxSw7k9YIHdu5_KXruovY6uaFxD8hruUyk9wmk/email%20list%20filter-qgY.png
  • To show only those messages that you have created, set the Show filter to Only mine. To show all emails, set the Show filter to All. https://cdn.elev.io/file/uploads/jEC8HySvDwISUdSg8iqChOB9kMRsiM1RCnIFiA0173M/gr4m1KFknO3iaAbF02U7TcM9FvZwJ2y3uqVfFxjWdOI/my%20emails%20filter-ebw.png
  • To show just scheduled emails, set the Status filter to Scheduled. To show just unscheduled email drafts, set the Status filter to Drafts. To show all messages regardless of status, set the Status filter to All. https://cdn.elev.io/file/uploads/jEC8HySvDwISUdSg8iqChOB9kMRsiM1RCnIFiA0173M/QopvpYh1cLaSz8k2uUOmbdCXW5JAUnk8Bq9YTP529Mg/scheduled%20emails%20filter-8N4.png

These filter options work in combination. For example, if you set the Show filter to Only mine, set the Status filter to Scheduled, and enter a search string in the Quick search field, then only scheduled emails that you have created that match the search string will be displayed.
