Your Email and Clay Alliance

Nancy H. just wrote a group email to everyone. She was a bit confused about how to update her email so that she would get CA Emailer group emails going to her new email address and not to her old one. She changed the email address in her new Clay Alliance account, but that didn’t work.  I can see plenty of others being confused, so I’m posting this info here.

Her confusion is well founded; with our new CA web site there are now two places where your email is stored:

  1. As part of your CA web site USERID

    Right now, unless you are making comments or posting stories on the new site, this email isn’t really used much. But it is used when you use  “forget your password” function on the site.

  2. In the CA member database

    This one is the important one as it is used for group emails. The long lived “CA Emailer” that is still doing its job. It is also used to show your email in the Member directory — which is currently available in the CA Documents section as a PDF download.

Hope this helps and thanks to Nancy for voicing her confusion, so that others may benefit.
Steve
