The NC State Email Generator aims to make it easy to create on brand emails. By using WordPress to generate emails, you can avoid clunky and proprietary built-in editors provided by Bronto and MailChimp.

As email clients change and HTML email standards evolve, UComm developers can adjust the underlying code to ensure your email's recipients see the email as you intended. By using the Email Generator, you will always have the most up-to-date code whenever you send an email.

The Email Generator has a free tier available to all campus communicators. The free tier offers two templates:

• a single column announcement email, and
• a Bulletin-style newsletter.

A premium tier is also available with additional templates to meet a wide variety of communication needs. In addition to free tier templates, the premium tier also offers:

• a more robust newsletter template,
• an event invitation,
• a speaker series announcement, and
• an event announcement.

To begin using the free tier, simply log in to the Email Generator with your Unity ID. If you're interested in the premium tier, contact Luis Chacon.
