How to send mass email with macros
I need to send a mass e-mail to all users that includes some macros such as their Username and Password. I see you can you use macro in an e-mail template but I cannot use them in the mass e-mail section under users neither can I import a template. How can I accomplish this?
Thanks
Natalie

RE:How to send mass email with macros
Hello,

Actually it's not possible to use macros within mass e-mails. However I will pass it as a requirement for next versions.

You can still achieve your aim using our API: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/api_overview.htm. There is nice example of e-mail sending via API: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/modifying_the_code_of_standard_web_parts.htm

Another option is using Newsletter module for this purpose. You will create new newsletter and add appropriate users as subscribers. It is described here: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/subscribers_management.htm

Best regards
