# 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]

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