Creating a new content
Aurea List Manageruses the content settings to create new content and edit contents also
Follow the steps below to create a new content:
Creating Content
- In the left navigation bar, click Content, then click View Content and then click the Create New button. This takes you to the Content: Create New Content : Essentials tab.
- Enter a Name and Description to identify the content.
- Enter the email address of whom the message should appear to be From: .By default, your email address appears there. To customize the message, select Insert Field to insert a mail merge field or an autoresponder address.
- Enter the email address of who the message should be To:. By default, the To: field is set
to
%%nameemail%%, which merges in the name and email address of each recipient. To customize the message further, select Insert Field to insert a mail merge field. - The To: field does not select the message's recipients. When building your mailing, you are to specify the segment or lists to whom you want to send the message.
- Enter the Subject: of the message. Recipients see this line as the subject of the message they receive. To customize the subject line for each recipient, select Insert Field to insert a mail merge field.
- Select the Text Message or HTML Message tab, and type or paste the contents of your message in the field.
Note
You may create just a text or HTML body, and that is what is sent to your recipients, or you can create both, and send a message that has both text and HTML. This format is called multipart-alternative, and Aurea List Manager creates the correct headers and boundaries automatically. Recipients who can see HTML only see your HTML message while those who cannot see the text. You can customize your message for every recipient by selecting Insert Field or Insert Condition. You can also track which URLs recipients click by using Insert URL.
- Select the Advanced tab for advanced options such as adding headers or joining other tables.
- To select a different character set, click the Internationalization tab.
- To save your content: click Save. This returns you to the main Content page.
- To save your content and see what it looks like in a message: click Save and Test.
- To create a mailing using your content: click Create Mailing.
Editing Content
- Editing content is much like creating new content. You cannot edit the built-in content templates. To edit preexisting content, follow these steps:
- Go to the Content main page.
- Click the name of the content you'd like to edit or click the Edit command for the content.
- Edit the content as desired.
- Click Save, or Save and test.
IMPORTANT
For users of earlier versions of Aurea List Manager. The list, site, or server message wrapping is not automatically included in your message if you create it through the Aurea List Manager administrator GUI. Please remember to add these instructions to your content or mailing, or send the message to the list via email. For more information, see Unsubscribe in Insert Field.
Note
You can also create new content from a template.
