Communications Overview

A starting point for lead sources, campaigns, templates, email, text, and printed communication.

Communications Overview

CoolFocus lets you email and print to the people in your database — a whole group at once or one person at a time — using reusable templates. This is how you send giving statements, thank-yous, receipts, letters, and any other correspondence, all recorded back on each person's history.

Two ways to reach people

  • A whole segment — build a segment (for example, "donors who gave this year"), then use its Email or Print action to send to everyone in it.

  • One person — open a donor or contact record and use the Email or Print action right there.

Either way, you pick a template, fill in anything the template asks for (like a date range), preview, and send. Sent emails and printed documents are saved as activity on each person's record.

What you can send

  • Emails — one-off or to a whole segment, from a template.

  • Giving statements — year-end or any-period contribution summaries, emailed or printed, for a segment of donors or a single donor.

  • Gift receipts — automatic receipts for online gifts, plus resend when needed.

  • Printed documents, labels & envelopes — letters and statements as PDF, plus mailing labels.

All of it runs on templates you can customize.

Good to know

  • Emails send from your organization's verified email; if one isn't set up yet, a default sending address is used.

  • Recipients without a valid email (for email) are automatically skipped, and everything sent is logged so you have a record.

  • Handle exported or printed files per your organization's privacy policy.
