What is Staffbase?
Staffbase (formerly Bananatag) is a system for sending internal communications that allows us to build attractive, brand-compliant, templates and track performance for emails to students, faculty and staff. Staffbase communications are typically distributed via Email Lists.
Web Services can work with you to create templates for general messages or more customized templates for your special events.
Get Started
To get started using Staffbase, please submit a service request using the Email Project option.
Using Staffbase
It’s easy to create and send emails using Staffbase. Your email will look great and follow accessibility best practices, and Staffbase will even show you how many times your email is opened or links in the email are clicked.
Best Practices
We frequently encounter emails that use one image for the entire email instead of properly formatted text and images. This is generally not a good practice. Some email clients won’t load images, some might filter out emails like this altogether and when images do load, quality is often noticeably reduced from the original source. Images of text also present an accessibility issue because it is not possible for screen readers or other assistive technologies to navigate the information in the image.
