The "Invite by email" feature allows you to send a customized email invitation to your list of contacts, so that they can partake in your project(s).
You can find the "Invite by email" feature on the right side of the "Share & Embed" page. In order for this page to be available, you'll need to publish your project first.
This page can be accessed from the navbar when you're editing a project, or from the dropdown arrow in your project's card.
Once you click the "Compose email" button, you'll be taken to a new page where you can customize the email and its design/branding to your liking. On your right side you'll have a preview of how the email will look like, so you can make the necessary adjustments as you go.

Selecting Which Contacts to Invite
With this feature you will have the ability to choose which contacts the invitation will be sent out to.
You can choose to send the invitation to:
Existing contacts - These are contacts that were gathered from other projects and have been tagged.
Imported contacts - Select the option "Important and tag contacts..." and this will open a modal where you can import your contacts. The import type can be either via "File upload" or "Copy & paste".
Once you're done importing your contacts, you can also assign tags to them.
