1. Log in to your Shop Local site. 
    
2. In the horizontal navigation, hover over  Gift Registry and from the drop down click on Gift Lists.
    
3. On the Registry Lists page, you will see a list of the current year's registrants. Find the registrant that you wish to send the welcome email to.
    
4. Once you find the registrant, their email will be on the right side. Under their email, click the Generate Email link. 
   A drop-down will appear with the following email options:
   • Welcome e-mail
   • Incentive e-mail
   • TheKnot Steps e-mail
   • Picture e-mail
      
5. Clicking these links will auto-populate an email in your native email program (e.g. Outlook or Apple's Mail program). Click Welcome email.  
    
6. Your native email program will open with the pre-written welcome email template and the registrant's email address. You may edit this email as needed and send it to the registrant.

Additional notes:

Here is a key to the other auto-populated emails that you can generate:

• General email. When you click the registrant's email, the software will generate a general email. It includes a salutation, a link to the registry, and your store contact information. 
• Incentive email: When you click this link, the software will auto-populate an email that encourages the registrant to complete the 5 step incentive program. This program encourages the registrant to promote your store and her registry via 5 steps. 
• TheKnot.com Steps email: When you click this link, your software will auto-populate an email listing the steps to add a link to your store on theknot.com. 
• Picture email: When you click this link, your software will auto-populate an email that asks the registrant to email you a picture so that you can add it to the registrant's registry page.
