Save email as draft
P
Peter Benzie
Maybe its just me but too often I find that I'm part way through composing an email to a group of people only to realise there is something I need to do (e.g. upload a file; amend a service plan etc.) before I can send the email. It's frustrating to have to close the email, work elsewhere in tithe.ly and then start the email again. Can we have a way that we can save an email in draft to come back to?
Note - I'm talking about "1 off" / "specific" emails not regular emails for which we can (and do) create templates.

We would still love this feature, but this is what we do now. If its a long, or complicated message or needs some approvals etc, create it as a message template first. This saves re-typing and is also useful if you just have to make minor changes each time you send it. You could also lock down the template if its confidential.

I agree totally with that

This request was made last fall - I agree, it would be very useful!

A workaround - I have multiple Elvanto tabs open whenever I'm at work - usually 2 or 3, sometimes more depending on what I'm doing. And if the email needs to be approved by someone, I create it in Word (easier to do formatting too) then copy and paste into the email when it's ready.

YES YES YES!!! I can attest to many hours of lost work because of accidentally clicking the wrong spot on the page and the email is gone...

Agreed, this seems like such a simple thing to add that would make all of our lives easier! Many of our communication emails need to be approved before sending..it makes it difficult since we can't save them, we end up doing the work twice if the right person is not in the office at that time - not only creating the email, which is easy to save (unless a graphic has been formatted into the email) but also adding the recipient list!

Can you not just open another tab in the browser and do what you need to and come back to the email? Or are you talking hours/days to keep it in draft?

Richard Szabo: Exactly what I've trained our people to do. Even better when you have more than one monitor and multiple views open at the same time.

Richard Szabo: I want to preschedule our devotional emails for the week, but want to add requests daily so this doesn't work for me

I agree! I've never thought to ask for a change - thanks! Right now I just copy my text into a Word or Note document so I don't have to retype it - IF I remember in time that I'm going to lose it if I go to another function.
