About blast email campaigns

A Blast campaign allows you to send customised, multi‑section marketing emails to a selected group of contacts. You can personalise the layout, choose which listings or content to include, and apply template styling to match your brand.

Start your blast campaign

To create a blast email:

  • Go to: Contacts
  • Filter your contacts to find the group you want to email
  • Tick the checkbox to select all contacts
Note: The contacts you select at the beginning of a Blast become your final recipient list. If you selected the wrong contacts, create a new Blast and attach the correct recipients from your updated search.
  • Click Email Blast > New Blast at the top of the screen

  • Select the Sender
  • Enter the Subject
  • Select a Template 

Your Box+Dice system comes with a basic template, but if you'd like to discuss other customisation options or Get a quote for a new template. Please contact the Support team.

Important: Avoid changing Theme Settings unless you are familiar with HTML. Assistance to undo styling changes may incur a cost.

Add sections and organise layout

Each block represents a specific listing category, and you can choose which listings appear based on their status and availability in your system.  

Note: Each section will appear only in the email blast if you have information included in them.  

To configure the sections:

  • Click the Your Message

The Your Message block lets you add personal messaging at the top of your campaign. 

  • Enter a section title (optional) 
  • Tick Show the sender’s image and/or signature which are drawn from the Staff Card 
  • Configure the greeting
  • Select whether to merge Salutation or First Name 
  • Enter your personalised message 

  • Select the listing section/s that will appear only in the email blast
  • Enter the listing details
  • Click the Up arrow or the Down arrow to reorder the sections

To configure the section layout:

  • Tick the Tower or Banner layouts 
    • Tower - image above text
    • Banner - image beside text

  • Tick Sort order manually to sort listings manually

Once you’re satisfied with your content and section layout:

  •  Click Preview & Save to review your Blast and save it in draft

  • Click Send to # Recipient to deliver the Blast to your selected contacts

Note: To check whether an E‑alert or Blast has been sent, go to the contact timeline and make sure the Include Automated Events option is enabled.
