In this digital age, newsletters are a great way to share updates, news, and other relevant information with your audience. One of the tools that have made creating stunning newsletters easy is Canva. Canva offers a plethora of design options, making it a powerful tool for designing newsletters. But once your newsletter design is complete, how do you send it via Gmail? This article will walk you through the steps to send your Canva newsletter in Gmail.
Step 1: Design Your Newsletter in Canva
If you haven’t yet designed your newsletter, you need to do so first. Login to your Canva account, select the appropriate template, and design your newsletter as per your requirements.
Step 2: Download the Newsletter
Once your design is complete, you need to download the newsletter on your system. Click on the Download button at the top right corner of the Canva interface. Make sure you download the file in a format that can be easily viewed by your recipients. PDF is usually a good option.
Step 3: Compose an Email in Gmail
Now, log in to your Gmail account and click on the Compose button. Write the subject of your email and the body content.
Step 4: Attach the Newsletter
To attach the newsletter you downloaded from Canva, click on the Attach files button (represented by a paperclip icon) at the bottom of the compose window. Navigate to the location where you saved your Canva newsletter, select it, and click Open.
Step 5: Send the Email
Once your newsletter is attached, click the Send button. Your recipients will now receive your newsletter as a PDF attachment in the email.
Alternative: Embed the newsletter in the email body
If you wish to display the newsletter directly in the body of the email, you need to follow a slightly different process. Instead of downloading the newsletter as a PDF, download it as an image (JPEG or PNG). Then, instead of attaching the file, you would insert it into the body of your email. Below is a simple way to do it:
1. Click on the <strong>Insert Photo</strong> button at the bottom of the compose window (represented by a camera icon).
2. Navigate to the location where you saved your Canva newsletter image, select it, and click <strong>Open</strong>.
3. The image will appear in the body of your email. You can resize it as needed.
4. Once you're satisfied, click the <strong>Send</strong> button.
And there you have it! You now know how to send a Canva newsletter via Gmail. You can adjust these instructions as needed, depending on the specific needs of your audience.
