#	wp bp email create

Create a new email post connected to an email type.

## OPTIONS

--type=<type>
: Email type for the email (should be unique identifier, sanitized like a post slug).

--type-description=<type-description>
: Email type description.

--subject=<subject>
: Email subject line. Email tokens allowed. View https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/email-tokens/ for more info.

[--content=<content>]
: Email content. Email tokens allowed. View https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/email-tokens/ for more info.

[--plain-text-content=<plain-text-content>]
: Plain-text email content. Email tokens allowed. View https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/email-tokens/ for more info.

[<file>]
: Read content from <file>. If this value is present, the
    `--content` argument will be ignored.

  Passing `-` as the filename will cause post content to
  be read from STDIN.

[--edit]
: Immediately open system's editor to write or edit email content.

  If content is read from a file, from STDIN, or from the `--content`
  argument, that text will be loaded into the editor.
