How to email individuals or groups

When you initiate an email from within SEP, it will open the default email client on your computer, and put the recipient email address or addresses into the To field. If you haven't already done so, you may want to set up the default email program to use with the Safe Environment Program. For instructions on how, please see How to set up the default email client used by the Safe Environment Program to send emails.

Using the select feature on the individual page will have no effect on which email addresses will populate the To field of the email. Instead, you must use the filter option to narrow your selection or clear the filter to send an email to all individuals who have an email address on file.

Note: In Card View, an envelope icon in the top right corner of the card will be present when an email address is on file for the individual.
