View sequential mailings
The View Sequential Mailings page displays a list of all sequential mailings. To view the mailings in sequence that comprise each sequential mailing, click on the Sequential Mailing Name link. This opens the Sequential Details page, which displays all of the individual mailings that make up the sequential mailings. These individual mailings can be further edited by clicking the ID number next mailing. This allows you to edit the mailing itself. This can best be described as follows:
Sequential page (displays sequential mailings) > Sequential Details page (displays individual mailings in sequence for the selected sequential mailing).
In addition, a new sequential mailing can be created from this page by clicking Create new sequential mailing. For more information on how to create sequential mailings, see Mailings > Advanced Mailings > New Sequential Mailing and Mailings > Advanced Mailings > New Sequential Mailing Wizard.
Note
The list's recency limits may not be overridden when creating a new sequential mailing using this wizard. However, these limits may be edited later in Mailings > Advanced Mailings > Sequential Mailings > Edit Sequential Mailing.
The table below explains the fields/actions available in View sequential mailings page:

Finding a Sequential Mailing |
Twenty sequential mailings are shown at a time. The view here displays each sequential mailing, NOT the individual mailings that comprise a sequential mailing. To see the individual mailings that belong to a sequential mailing, click on the sequential mailing name to be taken to the Sequential Details page, from where new mailings can be added to the sequence. To view more, click Show more. Repeatedly clicking Show more shows greater numbers of triggered mailings at a time. You may change the sorting order of the sequential mailings by clicking the up or down triangles next to the Sequential Mailing Name or Count. By clicking the top triangle, the sort order is ascending (a-z); clicking the bottom arrow makes the sort order descending (z-a). |
| Viewing or editing an existing Sequential Mailing |
To view a sequential mailing, click the ID for that mailing. You are taken to the Sequential Details page, where you can test, reschedule, or delete the mailing in the sequence, or further edit it by clicking the ID. |
|
Testing an existing Sequential Mailing |
Sequential mailings must be tested from the Sequential Details page. Click Test next to the mailing in the sequence like to test. Aurea List Manager shows you the name and subject of the mailing. Enter a valid email address to test that the mailing arrives and to verify the content. Enter a sample size, usually 1 and set whether or not to perform spam analysis. It is strongly recommended that segments are tested when saved, to make sure that no errors occur. |
| Rescheduling a Sequential Mailing |
Sequential mailings can be rescheduled to be sent out on a different date or at a different time. When you click Reschedule, this opens the Reschedule Sequential Mailing page. Here, the mailing name and subject are hard coded and cannot be edited, and the current send date and time are displayed. To unschedule this triggered mailing completely, click unschedule. This prevents the mailing from going out at all in the future. Enter the new rescheduled date and time, previous send date and time if necessary, upon which to base the send date calculations, or the new send frequency. Changing these values allows you to skip sending mailings for a period of time, or resend the mailing for a period of time. |
| Deleting a Sequential Mailing |
Sequential mailings must be deleted from the Sequential Details page. Click Delete next to the mailing you want to delete. Aurea List Manager asks you if you are sure before deleting the mailing. |
| Adding mailings to the sequence |
Individual mailings must be added to the sequence of a sequential mailing from the Sequential Details page. Click Add to sequence to be taken to the Mailings > Advanced Mailings > New Sequential Mailing page. Note It is not possible to edit the mailing name, and the mailing trigger, as these are preset to the values for your existing sequence. |
