Overview #
The Send Message screen walks you through sending an email in three steps: recipients, message, and review. This helps prevent the classic “oops, I sent it to the wrong people” problem.
You choose who should receive the email, write the subject and message, review everything, then send.
Where to Find It #
Go to Send Message in the WordPress dashboard.
The Three Steps #
Step 1: Recipients #
Choose who should receive the message. You can send to specific users or to users by role.
Step 2: Message #
Write the email subject and body. The message body uses the WordPress editor, so you can write formatted content instead of plain text only.
Step 3: Review #
Review the recipients, subject, and message preview before sending. This is your last checkpoint before the email goes out.
How to Send a Message #
- Open Send Message.
- Choose Specific users or User role(s).
- Select at least one user or role.
- Click Next.
- Enter a subject.
- Write the message in the editor.
- Click Next.
- Review the recipients, subject, and message.
- Click Send Email.
What Happens After Sending? #
Huski Send sends the email to each recipient using WordPress email delivery. If at least one email is sent successfully, the message is added to Message History and you will see a success notice with the number of recipients sent.
Best Practices #
- Always review the final step before sending.
- Use a clear subject line.
- Keep the message focused.
- Send a test message to yourself first if the message is important.
- Use roles carefully because role sending can reach many people at once.
Troubleshooting #
- You cannot continue past Recipients: Select at least one user or role.
- You cannot continue past Message: Add both a subject and message body.
- No emails were sent: Confirm recipients exist and your site can send email.
- The message formatting looks different in inboxes: Email clients vary. Keep formatting simple for best results.
