Non-member spouse email

Post by sly7 »

Hello, a non-member spouse would like to receive emails sent to our ward distribution. Is it possible to add the non-member to the member household and attach an email address? Is there any other work around? Thanks

I think the only work around would be to make their email the household email. But that's likely to cause other problem since some things use "household" and others use the individual.

I think you're probably going to have to remember to add that address each time you send. Or have someone add a rule to forward certain emails.

No. There is no capability to add a nonmember to a ward directory nor to a church provided email list. The nonmember spouse is already a member of the household but not in the manner you would like to see. He/she is included in the member's record but not as a separate record for the purpose you would like to see.

You can maintain your own list of nonmember spouses with communication information for inclusion in any communications. It is a manual method but the best that is available at this time.
