Uploading Client Sample
This article will discuss the 'Uploading Client Sample'
Background
Client Sample is usually provided in a spreadsheet. It may even contain other information such as first name, last name and any other pertinent information. You can upload this file directly to your 'Email Campaign' so you can use it to not only send the email invites but also pipe in any of the information contained within to personalize the invitation.
