Create and edit blocks

Use modules to personalize your mailings. You can use recipient attributes and commands from Inxmail Professional in your modules.

Step by step

  1. Open the "Modules" navigation item.

  2. Click New module.

  3. Enter a name for your module and specify its format:

    • HTML: For HTML mails

    • Text: For plain text mails

    • Multipart: For emails that you would like to optimize for both HTML and text view.

  4. Click Save.

  5. Add recipient attributes, commands from Inxmail Professional or other modules to create your own module.

    Insert attributes, so you can use your recpient's birthday, surname or first name in your module, for example.

    Add commands such as date, time, recipient ID or information on your mailing list.

    In addition to the commands from the drop-down list, you can manually enter all commands from Inxmail Professional.

    Insert modules that you have previously created into your module in order to nest multiple modules.

  6. Examples for modules

    Here is an example of a module that outputs the nearest store for recipients from different locations.

    Copy 
    [%if Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "16" OR Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "13" OR Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "14" OR Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "13"] Your store in Potsdam
    [%elseif Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "19" OR Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "17" OR Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "18" OR Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "23" OR Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "24"] Your store in Rostock
    [%elseif Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "3" OR Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "3" OR Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "5"] Your store in Kassel
    [%elseif Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "0"  OR Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "9"] Your store in Würzburg
    [%elseif Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "8"] Your store in München
    [%elseif Column("PLZ") STARTS_WITH "7"] Your store in Stuttgart
    [%else]
    The store closest to you
    [%endif]

    Here is an example of a module that outputs different salutations, depending on the recipient's gender.

    Copy 
    [%if Column("Salutation") = "male"]
    [%if Column("Last name") IS_EMPTY]Good Morning
    [%else]Dear Mr [Last name]
    [%endif]
    [%elseif Column("Salutation") = "female"]
    [%if Column("Last name") IS_EMPTY]Good Morning
    [%else]Dear Ms [Last name]
    [%endif]
    [%elseif Column("Salutation") = "neutral"]
    [%if Column("First name") IS_EMPTY OR Column("Last name") IS_EMPTY]Good Morning
    [%else]Dear [First name] [Last name]
    [%endif]
    [%else]Good Morning
    [%endif]

     

Newly created modules will only work in freshly synchronized mailings: You must synchronize your mailing after you have created your block so you can select it later in your mailing.

  • You have created and edited a new module.
