Notifying Visitors by email

Sends an email notification to visitors to let them know a new album has been created. If you make changes to an album later, you can come back to this page and send another notification.

The Notify page is one of the tabs in the Create New Album wizard. Once an album is created, you can return to the Notify page by clicking Manage under each album on the HP Photo Webshare home page. The Photos page opens. Click Next until you advance to the Notify page or click the Notify tab.

• Groups - Check the groups with whom you want to share the album. Click Select All to share the album with all groups. Click Select All a second time to deselect all groups. Click the arrow next to each group to expand the group and see the visitors in that group. Select or deselect individual visitors with whom to share the album.
• To - You can directly type in email addresses to share with users who are not already visitors, and you will be prompted to setup a new visitor account. If you would like to notify existing visitors, ensure they are selected at the left for sharing and then select them from the drop down list.
• Subject - type a subject line for the email notification. HP Photo Webshare puts the name of the album in the subject line if you do not type one.
• Message - type a message for the email notification. By default, this field is the album description.
