Notes on the example

In this example, a product feed from an online shop is used as the data source. Many online shop systems, such as Magento or Oxid, for example, provide product data in XML format.

In this example, the editor is able to integrate a specific product or its product data into a mailing. This is done by entering an article number in the Fill in element dialog box in the Advanced Template.

Other parameters that can be used to query product data from the online shop include the SKU, a category ID or section ID.
