Bronto URL Import

Bronto can import email code from a URL. This functionality allows you to use the Email Generator to compose a message. You can then import your newly composed email into Bronto using the URL import functionality. Bronto can then send out your email to its intended recipients.

When using the Email Generator, you compose your email message within the Email Generator rather than Bronto. You will only use Bronto to send the email message.

NOTE: Some users have noticed formatting issues when importing their emails into Bronto. If you have experienced items not displaying correctly or odd special characters appearing, you can try an alternate email import method. If you continue to experience issues importing your email into Bronto, or if you need additional assistance, please email ucomm@help.ncsu.edu.
