The Newsletter Setup feature allows you to configure how your sender information, school identity, and email headers appear across outgoing newsletters sent through the Edlio CMS platform. Changes made in this section will apply to all future newsletters and do not retroactively alter previously delivered communications.
đĄ CMS Newsletters vs. Mass Communication: The settings described here configure the email newsletter publisher located under Communications > Newsletters in the Edlio CMS. For district-wide emergency broadcasts, SMS text alerts, voice calls, and mobile app announcements, configure Edlio's standalone Mass Communication tool.
Accessing Newsletter Setup
Navigating in your CMS admin panel
From the main navigation menu, go to Communications > Newsletters.
Select Manage Setup in the top right corner of the Newsletters management dashboard.
Personal newsletter settings
Configuring your individual sender profile
All staff members and website administrators can configure their personal newsletter identity to control how their name, email, and portrait appear on emails they compose:
From Name
Sets the sender name that recipients see in their email inbox (e.g., Principal Martinez or Coach Davis).
Important considerations:
Changes made here apply only to newsletters sent through Edlio CMS.
Your name in the CMS Staff Directory and public website profile remains unchanged.
This setting does not alter your email account name in external email clients (Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook).
From Email Address
Displays the sender address recipients see. To update your From email address, update your email address in your central Profile settings (which updates your staff directory listing and login credentials across the site).
Header Photo
The photo appearing in personal newsletter headers is pulled directly from your CMS user profile. Updating your photo under Profile settings updates your newsletter header, Staff Directory picture, and personal website pages simultaneously.
School and district newsletter settings
Managing institutional sender details (Website Administrators only)
Website administrators can configure official school-wide or district-wide sender identities so that newsletters appear from the school rather than an individual staff member:
School or District Information
In the School tab of Manage Setup, administrators can edit the organization's official From Name (e.g., Lincoln High School) and organizational From Email Address. When sending communications on behalf of the entire school, choose this organization address during the compose workflow.
School or District Header Logo
When sending from the school or district organization profile, the newsletter header logo used is the administrative brand asset associated with your site login screen. To update this institutional logo, open an Eddy support ticket with your high-resolution image ready.
Logo Asset Note: The newsletter header logo is configured separately from your website's homepage logo. When opening an Eddy support case to refresh this graphic, specify that you are requesting an update to your Newsletter Header Logo.
Important: All website administrators share organizational newsletter settings. Updates made to the school identity are immediately available to all website administrators on the platform.

Summary checklist
Setup adjustments apply only to future email drafts and do not modify already sent newsletters.
