Email categories help you organize your communication by type—such as General Updates, Kids Ministry, or Student Events. These categories show up on the email preferences page so your recipients can opt in or out of the content that matters most to them.

This improves engagement and helps protect your deliverability by reducing unsubscribes and spam complaints.

​

    • A name (e.g., “Youth Ministry”)
