7. How do I manually add additional email addresses to an email?

All recipients of a message using ClubBroadCast should already be in the All Contacts section. These emails should have been exported from Jonas or CSG or Imported from a .csv file.
Once they are in the All Contacts area the email address should be assigned to a list or a segment before the message gets sent out.

Very rarely should email addresses be created manually into ClubBroadCast directly.

8. Why does the application not allow for attachments and what can I do as an alternative?

Attachments increase the size of your message. The larger the file size, the more susceptible your message becomes to a filter or an outright block. Also, ISPs (especially free ones like Hotmail, Yahoo etc) limit the size of emails it will accept and deliver to an inbox. A message with an attachment might not be delivered because it puts the recipient over their mailbox quota.

9. How can I check to see if a member received/opened the email I sent them?

There are two ways to look to see if a member received/opened your email
