DESCRIPTION
With the move to responsive websites, a challenge that you may find yourself facing after setting up your responsive Drupal website, is what to do about the email you send to your members. A really great feature of the Rules module is the ability to send an email when a rule is triggered - more specifically when creating new content. This session will present an easy way to create and send out responsive emails.
