Create and edit modules

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. Decide whether you want to create the module globally or for a specific list .

   What's the difference?

   List-specific modules are only available in mailings that are in the same list in which you have created the module. You can use global test profiles for preview - as well as all test profiles that are in the same list in which you have created the module.

   You can use global modules in all lists. You can use all test profiles for preview by selecting a specific list.

   

4. 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.

5. Click Save.

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

   Attribute

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

   

   Commands

   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.

   

   Other modules

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