Previously, sending 1:1 emails to journalists required you to be on the full contact profile. Now, firing off an email directly to a contact can be done from from multiple places in the Meltwater tool.
This article will cover:
Prerequisite
Before sending emails using Meltwater, you must integrate your email address in the platform. To integrate your email, follow the on-screen instructions here: app.meltwater.com/account/email-integration/.
Note: This process is different from configuring your email as an approved sender.
