Welcome to Connect!               

If you are new to the platform, taking your first steps into email marketing might feel a bit overwhelming, but we have designed this space to be as approachable as possible. This guide will help you get oriented and figure out exactly where to begin.

How to Access Connect

  1. Log in to your CUR8 account.

  2. Open the Manage menu at the top of your screen.

  3. Scroll down and select CUR8 Connect.

Please note: Only Organization Admins have access to CUR8 Connect. Project Managers and Project Creators cannot access this workspace.

 

Your First Look               

When you visit Connect for the very first time, you will land on a friendly welcome screen. This page is designed to gently introduce you to the system before you have any data to look at. 

Welcome Message:

 

Once you begin sending emails, this space will transform into your Connect Dashboard, displaying your live statistics and past campaigns.

 

Engagement Statistics:

 

What is an Engagement?               

Before you click anywhere, there is one key term you should know: Engagement. In our system, an "Engagement" is simply a marketing email. Whenever you see a prompt to create, send, or track an engagement, just think "email."

 

Exploring Connect's Workspace               

At the top of your screen, you will find your primary navigation menu. Here is a breakdown of what each area does with a help article linked, and where you might want to start:

 

 

 

Create New Engagement: 

If you are ready to jump right in and build, schedule, or send an email, this is where you will do it.

Manage Templates: 

If you are completely new to email marketing, this is a great place to start! You can browse a library of pre-built CUR8 email designs to get inspiration and see how our email builder works without the pressure of sending anything.

Manage Tokens: 

Once you are comfortable building emails, visit this tab to create trackable links and QR codes to monitor exactly how many ticket sales your emails are generating.

Manage Subscribers: 

If you are migrating from an old email system (like Constant Contact or Mailchimp) and already have a list of attendees you want to email, start here. You can upload your outside email lists so they are ready to go when you build your first campaign.
