Emails
Creating and sending emails with DynamicWeb 10 has the benefits of selecting recipients based on dynamic criteria, using content and products from your solution, and registering unsubscribes directly on user accounts.
To create an email:
- Open the context menu of a Campaign folder and click Create email
- Select Recipients and Recipient groups
- Fill in basic settings (may be prefilled from campaign folder settings):
- From: name
- From: email
- Subject
- Select the page you want to send as an email
- Select the domain you want to send this email from
- Save
You also have access to a number of more advanced email settings in the Advanced and Providers tabs:
The Advanced-tab contains more advanced email settings:
Setting | Use | Comments |
---|---|---|
Email attachments | Select a file from the file-selector | The file is attached to the email and sent to the recipients |
Unsubscribe text | Text for the unsubscribe link | |
Redirect after unsubscribe | Select a page from the file-selector | |
Render content for each recipient | Check/uncheck whether email content should be rendered for each recipient or only once | If the email contains user-specific content, it must be rendered for each recipient. Please note that this naturally significantly impacts performance |
Plain text | Use the radio button to select an option | Decide whether a plain text version of the email should be sent alongside the html version, and choose between auto-generated plain text or custom text |
Ensure unique recipients | Uncheck to allow delivering the same email to the same recipient more than once | This is typically done for scheduled emails like an abandoned shopping cart email, which may be sent to the same user many times but with different content |
Quarantine period | Provide a quarantine period during which the user cannot receive the email again | Only relevant if Ensure unique recipients is unchecked/off |
