Adding pre-specified email header fields

Step by step

  1. Open the mailing in the Editing workflow step.

  2. Click the (Add/delete other email headers) button before the subject of the mailing. Then select one of the following email header fields from the drop-down list:

    Email header field

    Description

    Recipients

    Specifies to which email addresses of the assigned recipients (in the Recipients workflow step, Mailings (recipient)) the mailing should be sent.

    Note: If you do not use the email header field, the mailing will automatically be sent to the recipient email addresses specified in the Email column of the recipient table.

    For this reason, you should only use the email header field if you want to send the mailing to other recipient email addresses (for example, to email addresses stored in a different column of the recipient table).

    Example You want to send the mailing to recipient email addresses stored in the ‘Active email addresses’ column of your recipient table. To do so, add the Recipients email header field. Then enter the name of the recipient table column [Active email addresses] in this email header field.

    Sender

    Specifies the sender’s email address. The sender address specified when the mailing list was created is entered by default.

    Note: If you use this email header field, the newly entered sender address will be used for the current mailing. The sender settings made in the Properties agent of the mailing list (Setting up the properties of mailing lists) will be ignored.

    Reply address

    Specifies the email address to which returns for the mailing (that is, replies from recipients or automatically generated replies) are sent or redirected.

    Note: If you use this email header field, the newly entered reply address will be used for the current mailing. The reply address settings made in the Properties agent of the mailing list (Setting up the properties of mailing lists) will be ignored.

    Priority

    Specifies the priority (importance) with which the mailing is sent.

    The recipient’s email client will indicate the priority with, for example, an icon (exclamation mark for highest priority).

    The email header field appears below the subject line.

  3. Now fill out the field and save your specifications.
  • You have successfully added a standard element to the email header of the mailing.

Additional information

To remove the email header field, click the (Add/delete other email headers) button again and then click the corresponding email header field in the drop-down list. The email header field will be removed (together with all settings made for it).
