To send mass emails to your users, go to
Users > Send Email to Users. You will be presented with a page that looks like this:
The options are:
- Test Email Only? – allows you to simply test the email, ensuring that you have selected the correct users.
- Email to send at once – the number of emails to send out per page. If this is set too high, you may receive page timeouts and the emails may not be sent properly.
- From – the address which the emails will be sent from.
- Subject – the subject line of the email.
- Message – the body of the email. You may use the following variables that will be replaced with the appropriate values when the email is sent:
$userid – the user’s ID number.
$username – the user’s name.
$email – the user’s email address.
The following will only be defined if the user is in the Users Awaiting Email Confirmation usergroup:
$activateid – the ID number the user will use to active his or her account.
$activatelink – the full URL that the user can use to active his or her account automatically.It is impossible to send a user his or her password. They are encrypted before being stored.

Search for Users page:
