Creating your mailings

Step by step

  1. Open the "Mailings" navigation item. You can create and view different mailing types in separate tabs:

    This is where you create normal mailings. You can save them as a template if required.

    This is where you can view and edit your saved mailing templates.

    This is where you create all (un)subscription mailings that you need as part of your (un)subscription process.

  2. Click New mailing or New (un)subscription mailing.

    Select your (un)subscription mailing type:

    Design your mailings to make sure they contain the relevant links and information needed for your mailing type and use case.

    Approve your mailings so that you can include them in your (un)subscription process.

  3. Enter name, subject and pre-header for your mailing.

    • The name is for you alone to allow you to locate the mailing in your mailing overview at a later time.

    • The subject is displayed to the recipients when your mailing appears in their inbox.

    • The pre-header is the mailing preview that your recipients see in their inbox before they open your mailing.

  4. Decide whether to create your new mailing with or without a mailing template.

    • With mailing template

      A mailing template is either the Inxmail template or a previous mailing of yours that you have saved as a template for your mailing.

      Template gallery Use a prebuilt template from the template gallery instead. After you add it to your mailing templates, it will be available here. For more information, see Template gallery.

      The Inxmail template is a mailing template that Inxmail provides to you so you can create your first mailing quickly and easily. You can customize the mailing structure, texts and images.

      You can use Inxmail containers in every mailing. So also in the Inxmail template. However, the styling of the Inxmail containers differs slightly from the styling of the containers in the Inxmail template. Before you send your mailing: Make sure all your containers are all styled the same way for your mailing to be consistent.

      You can save containers from the Inxmail template as content containers any time and use them in your mailings. Don't see the Inxmail template? Contact your Inxmail representative or for more information. Here, you can create your normal mailings. You can save them as a template if required.

      No, you cannot delete or edit the Inxmail template. Neither can you delete or edit the linked "Inxmail template" styleset.

      We recommend you to copy styleset and template. You can easily customize the copy of the style set and the copy of the template to suit your needs. As an alternative, you can create your own mailing template from the mailing you have created, based on the Inxmail template.

      Don't see the Inxmail template? Contact your Inxmail representative or for more information. Here, you can create your normal mailings. You can save them as a template if required.

      Tip: Use the Inxmail template. If you are new to XNEWwe recommend that you create your first mailing based on the Inxmail template. It is available in German and English at the bottom of your template dropdown.

      You can save an approved mailing as a template and use it for new mailings. The new mailing automatically adopts the style set link, and you can change the styles set later in the mailing.

    • Mailing templates

      Without a mailing template, an empty mailing is created. To do this, select a style set.

      A style set is a collection of defined colors and fonts that you can use in your mailing.

      Create style sets to make your mailings design-compliant. If you want to use other colors or fonts, adjust your style set.

  5. Click Create.

 

  • You have created a new mailing.
