Your email tool has never met your members
Most organizations run a separate email platform that knows nothing about their community. Every send means exporting a list, re-uploading contacts, and hoping the segments still match who actually belongs. Kannect Broadcast Email draws on the same member record as your events, groups, and memberships — so the list is never stale, and it's never something you have to rebuild.
Six things Broadcast Email does out of the box
Drag-and-drop builder
Build branded emails visually, block by block. No code, no HTML wrangling, no designer required.
Saved templates
Save any email as a reusable template. Your next newsletter starts from your last one, not a blank page.
Segmented sending
Send to the whole community or any segment — a group, chapter, event attendees, a membership tier, donors, alumni, staff, parents, or students.
Your sending domain
Send from your organization's address, like news@yourorg.org, not from Kannect. Better trust, better deliverability.
Open & click tracking
See opens, clicks, and unsubscribes for every broadcast. Know what landed and what fell flat.
Triggered emails
Welcome, onboarding, event updates, ticket receipts, donation thank-yous, and reminders send on their own — the emails that keep the community running.
Design it once, send it as yourself
Two things make a broadcast feel like it came from your organization and not a mass-mail tool: how it looks, and who it's from. Broadcast Email handles both, and both draw on the community you already run inside Kannect.
Build it visually
Drag in headers, text, images, and buttons. Match your colors and logo so every email looks like it belongs to your community. Preview before you send.
Save and reuse
Turn your best broadcast into a template. Monthly newsletters, event roundups, and donor updates all start from a layout you've already approved.
Send from your own domain
Configure your sending domain so broadcasts arrive from your organization's address, like news@yourorg.org. Members recognize the sender, and mailbox providers trust it.
See what happened
After every send, review opens, clicks, and unsubscribes per broadcast. Learn what your community reads, then send more of it.
The emails that send themselves
Not every email is a newsletter. The ones that keep a community running — the welcome, the onboarding step, the ticket receipt, the donation thank-you, the event reminder — should send the moment the action happens, without anyone remembering to hit send. In Kannect they do. A member joins and gets welcomed. Someone buys a ticket and gets a receipt. An event changes and everyone registered hears about it. Automatic, transactional, and drawn from the same member record as the rest of your community.
Part of the platform, not a bolted-on tool
Broadcast Email draws on the same member record as events, memberships, and groups. You never re-upload a contact list, and your segments never drift out of sync with who actually belongs. It's one platform doing the work, not a mail tool taped to the side of one.
One list, always current
As people join, leave, or change roles, your segments update on their own. No export, no re-upload, no stale contacts.
Tied to real activity
Email your event attendees, a membership tier, or your donors directly — because the record already knows who they are.
One dashboard
Design, send, and measure email from the same place you run events, memberships, and communication with your community.
The email service provider, retired
Most organizations pay a separate email platform priced by contact list, then keep it in sync by hand. Broadcast Email does the job from inside the platform your community already lives on.

Common questions about Broadcast Email
Is broadcast email really built into Kannect?
Yes. Broadcast Email is a built-in email marketing tool. You design newsletters and broadcasts with a drag-and-drop editor and send them without a separate email service provider. There's no Mailchimp or Constant Contact to connect.
Can I send from my own domain?
Yes. Send from your organization address, like news@yourorg.org, instead of from Kannect. Sending from your own domain improves trust with your members and helps deliverability.
Can I send to just part of my community?
Yes. Send to your whole community or any segment of the member record — a group, a chapter, event attendees, a membership tier, donors, alumni, staff, parents, or students. Segments stay in sync with the member record as people join, leave, or change roles.
Do triggered emails send automatically?
Yes. Transactional emails — welcome, onboarding, event posted or updated, ticket purchased, donation thank-you, and reminders — send on their own when the action happens. These are the emails that keep a community running, with no manual step.
What does Broadcast Email cost?
Broadcast Email is part of the Kannect platform, not a paid add-on. Plans from $23/mo billed yearly. See the pricing page for the current plans.
How does deliverability work?
You send from your own verified sending domain, so recipients see your organization as the sender, which builds trust and improves inbox placement. Kannect handles the sending, and you see opens, clicks, and unsubscribes per broadcast.
