Creating your mailings

Step by step

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

Mailings

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

Templates

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

(Un)subscription mailings (DOI)

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

Click New mailing or New (un)subscription mailing.
(Un)subscription mailings
Select your (un)subscription mailing type:
- Welcome
- Subscription confirmation (DOI): Make sure your mailing contains a subscription confirmation link.
- Subscription timeout (DOI)
- Unsubscription confirmation (DOO): Make sure that your mailing contains an unsubscription confirmation link.
- Unsubscription timeout (DOO)
- Farewell
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.
Enter name, subject and pre-header for your mailing.
What are name, subject and pre-header?
- 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.

Decide if you want your new mailing to be blank - or if you want to create it based on a mailing template.

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.

What is the Inxmail template?

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.

Can I delete or edit the Inxmail template?

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.

Can I use Inxmail containers in the Inxmail template?

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.

What is the difference between "Based on a template" and "Based on a style set"?
Based o a template: A mailing template is either the Inxmail template or simply a previous mailing that you have saved as a template. The new mailing will be created as a copy of the template.
The styleset link from the template will be maintained. Hence, you do not actively select a styleset. If you want, you can swap the styleset later in the mailing.
Based on a style set: Without a mailing template, the mailing you create will simply be blank.
Select a style set as the basis for your mailing.
What is a style set? In the style set, you define the colors and fonts for your mailing. Click here to find out how to define your own style sets in order to integrate your corporate design into mailings.
Click Create.

You have created a new mailing.
