Addon: Multi Location Franchise Email Marketing Tools

Head office builds it once. Every location sends it.

Give each location its own team with its own contacts, then share the templates, tags, custom fields and segments they all work from. Update the template centrally and every location has the new version. The Franchise-Wide Resource Sharing add-on is free.

Separate locations, one set of brand assets

The hard part of multi-location email is not sending it. It is keeping fifty locations on-brand without becoming the person who approves every email.

Every location gets its own team, you keep one login

Each location is a team with its own contacts, lists and campaigns, kept separate from the others — one location cannot email another location list by accident. Head office moves between them from the team switcher rather than juggling logins, and each team carries your role, so the same person can own one location and only view another.

  • A team per location, with its own contacts
  • Switch between locations without logging out
  • Five roles from Owner down to Viewer
  • A different role per team for the same person

Share the template, decide separately whether they can change it

Sharing and editing are two different switches. Turn on Share and every team can use the template. Leave Allow Edit off and they can send it but not alter it, which is how a brand stays a brand across fifty locations. Turn Allow Edit on for the teams you trust to adapt it. Both are set per item, not once for everything.

  • Share and Allow Edit are separate toggles
  • Set per template, not account-wide
  • Share read-only to lock the brand down
  • Drag-and-drop, SendX and plain text templates

Templates are not the only thing worth sharing

Tags, custom fields and segments share the same way. That matters more than it sounds — if every location defines its own idea of a lapsed customer, head office cannot compare anything. Share the segment definition and the same rule applies everywhere, so a report across locations means something. Landing email templates share too.

  • Tags and segments shared across locations
  • Custom fields shared so data stays comparable
  • Landing email templates as well
  • One update reaches every location

Turn it on, share what you choose, then get out of the way

The add-on is free and sits under Account and services. What takes thought is deciding what locations may change.

Pick what head office shares, and what stays locked

With the add-on on, every template, tag, custom field and segment gets a Share toggle and templates get an Allow Edit toggle beside it. Work down the list — the brand templates shared but not editable, the seasonal ones editable so a location can put its own offer in, the internal test templates shared with nobody. Custom fields have their own list with the same control.

Locations send their own email from shared assets

Each location works in its own team with its own contact list, building campaigns from the shared pool rather than rebuilding the brand from scratch. Head office switches between teams to check on any of them. When a shared template changes centrally, the locations have the new version — nobody sends last quarter artwork because they saved a copy.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about SendX and our services. Last updated June 2026.

Can a head office run email across many locations from one place?

Yes. Each location is set up as its own team inside one SendX account, and head office moves between them from the team switcher without separate logins. Every team keeps its own contacts and campaigns, while the templates, tags, custom fields and segments they work from are shared centrally. Head office builds the brand assets once and each location sends its own email using them.

What does the Franchise-Wide Resource Sharing add-on cost?

Nothing. It is a free add-on, found under Account and services in the add-ons list, and you switch it on yourself. What it adds is the ability to share resources between the teams on your account — templates, tags, custom fields and segments — rather than each team keeping its own separate copies.

Can I stop a location editing a shared template?

Yes, and this is the setting that matters most for brand control. Share and Allow Edit are separate toggles on each template. Share it with Allow Edit off and locations can send that template but cannot change it. Turn Allow Edit on only for the templates a location should be able to adapt — a seasonal promotion where the offer differs by region, for instance.

Does each location keep its own contacts?

Yes. Teams hold their own contacts, lists and campaigns, and that data is kept separate between them. A location works with the people who are actually its customers, and there is no path for one location to accidentally email another list. The sharing works the other way round — it applies to the assets you build campaigns from, not to the people you send to.

What can each person at a location do?

That depends on the role you give them. There are five — Owner, Admin, Non-Billing Admin, Contributor and Viewer — and roles are held per team, so the same person can own one location, contribute to a second and only view a third. Non-Billing Admin is the useful one for franchise setups, since a location manager can run everything about their own email without seeing or changing what the account is paying.

Why share custom fields and segments, not just templates?

Because otherwise every location invents its own definitions and nothing can be compared. If one location calls a field Joined and another calls it SignupDate, and each writes its own version of a lapsed-customer segment, a report across locations is meaningless. Sharing the field and the segment definition means the same rule applies everywhere, which is what makes head-office reporting worth reading.

What happens when head office updates a shared template?

The locations have the updated version — it is the same template being shared, not a copy each team took at some point in the past. That is the practical difference from emailing a design around and hoping everyone uses the latest one. Change the footer, the logo or the legal line centrally and the next send from every location carries it.
