Create

Markdown Format Caution...
- Line Breaks and Spacing are important...see the markdown guide
- Some markdown elements may not render as expected in all email clients...see the markdown guide
- Automatic bulleted and numbered list mode was added to Google Docs. This will cause a problem for markdown lists, so be sure to "disable" this feature before entering markdown content.
BEST PRACTICE: Test Emails Before Sending in Production!
Including Images...
Images can be included in two ways:
- Add images directly to the Google Document through the
Insert>Imagemenu - Add image markdown to reference externally hosted images
See the markdown guide for more information.

Access Google Contacts
- A selection list of Google Contacts should appear automatically as you type a contact name into the TO, CC or BCC fields. There may be a slight delay as TSMarkMail searches for your contact. Please wait for the list to populate before making your selection.
- TSMarkMail will search your Google Contacts by contact name only. See the FAQ page for more information.
- Google Contacts selected from the dropdown are automatically comma separated.
If entering an email address manually be sure to separate it from other entries by a comma.
Important Notes About Sending...
