Does ANYbody know if my site member can send emails from my site to their customers or does anybody has experience with email marketing for members on wix or if this is even possible?
All the help is welcome. Really helplesssssss
Site members on your website can’t send emails to each other through the Wix website, they can however send emails to each other if you display their email addresses in the Members Profile through code or on the Members Profile page through Wix Members app, so that when they click on the link it will open up in their email provider.
Wix will let you do email marketing, however it will be yourself who is in control of all the emails being sent out and not a site member on your website.

Hi, thank you for your response! Yes i already have an inbox ready for the member to communicate but i need my member to email their own existing email list.
So you say if i code all these emails into their profile they can send bulk emails (40-50) all together at the same time through wix? they will also be using templates that i made, those can’t be imported to their provider at the same time do they?
Hey Frederique,
as our forum whisky drinker said, Wix only lets you send triggered emails to Wix Users/CRM Contacts. In your setup, it´s rather undoable creating a Wix User for everyone in a mailing list.
But fear not, fair maiden. It is possible what you want, you just have to do it outside Wix. There our several possibilities:
- see my article about doing it thru emailjs.com here; https://girizano.wixsite.com/codecorner/home/send-email-thru-gmail-and-others-in-wix-code
- you could do it thru Zapier.com. You create a Zapier webhook first listening to a HTTP-POST. SO that means you will have to write a simple backend function which sends some data (email_to, Subject, Body) to this webhook. Then Zapier offers an “Action”, which would be:send email, e.g. thru Outlook or gmail.
Keep in mind that both solutions, when used with a gmail or outlook account will send emails FROM that account name. This might not be what you want, maybe you want to spoof the sender. But read my article. If so, you should sign up with a bulk email provider and use emailjs.com, not Zapier, since every Zap is always tied to an account (in this case, a sender´s email account)
There are other possibilities, but they involve much more coding.
Hope this helps.
@laraleadsnetwork Are you storing all of their uploaded contacts in your own Wix CRM database?
If so, and you have been storing the contactId created for each user, you’ll be able to send emails to them from each of your member’s pages (as your site, it won’t come from that member’s email address) using Wix Automations.
My lord!! Literally my lord thank you so much. Yes i tried zappier but i have different templates that my users can use and custom ones and i’m trying to automate the whole proces on my site which will be a lot harder through zappier.
Just another question im am trying to build an email template that is build out of 3 layers. the first is a sort of survey where they have to rate when they click 4-5 stars i need the email template they made and when they click 3 stars or less they get a standard template with a link to their personal site ( my site) where they can leave a comment on how they can improve their business. long story short: can you code these standard email templates in to the code each time they send an email with emailjs?
Again, thank you so much!! You really have been of great help lord of the wix.
