Build an email or social communication

Open Drumbeat → Communications and use Create Email or the create action. Enter an internal title and, for email, an Email Subject. Enable the required Email, Slack, LinkedIn, or X format switches. Newsletter is part of the Email format group and appears when Email is enabled.

Some older screens describe mixed or social-only modes; use the format controls available in your installed version.

Use the visual Builder for a reusable block layout, or the available WYSIWYG, Code, or HTML mode for direct editing. Select a block to edit its settings. Add headings, text, images, links, and buttons that support one clear message.

In the settings panel, select email lists and connected social destinations as needed. Attach related content records or Asset Library links when the message uses them. Multiple related records can be selected; review the displayed pills to confirm the selection.

Use Save Email and check the saving status before leaving. Autosave may also operate in the editor, but a visible saved confirmation is the best check. Preview each enabled format: email formatting is not necessarily the same as Slack, LinkedIn, or X output.
