Templates

You can use templates to help you create mailings or JSP web pages quickly and consistently in Inxmail Professional.

In this section, you will learn how to import or create these templates in Inxmail Professional:

  • Importing the template file or template library

    In Inxmail Professional, a differentiation is made between the following templates or template libraries:

    • Newsletter templates or Inxmail Smart Templates

      You use newsletter templates to create mailings (Creating a new mailing). They support editors in content and layout creation through predefined elements.

      The standard newsletter templates developed by Inxmail GmbH are called Inxmail Smart Templates.

      Inxmail Smart Templates can contain one or more designs. The designs always contain the same structure and the same template elements. They differ only in layout.

    • JSP template libraries

      You use JSP template libraries to create JSP web pages (Creating web pages). They enable you to easily create and integrate subscription, unsubscription, email archive, profile management and survey JSP web pages, for example.

      JSP template libraries contain one or more JSP templates.

      JSP templates always contain only one design.

    Template libraries are created outside Inxmail Professional as an *.itc file. To be able to use template libraries in Inxmail Professional, you must import them to Inxmail Professional.

    If you require a newsletter template that is customised to your company, you will need a so-called Inxmail Enterprise Template (for example, to automatically create mailings with your corporate design). Note: Contact your Inxmail contact person or for more information.

    You can also create newsletter templates yourself. Knowledge of XML programming, among other things, is required. Contact us if you are interested in creating your own templates. The Inxmail Academy offers suitable training. Note: Contact your Inxmail contact person or for more information.

  • Setting up the data source for content import

    Template developers can make it possible for editors using already imported newsletter templates to transfer content from external data sources with just a few clicks (Editing area: Template Editor (newsletter templates)). For this, the template developers must create the relevant external data sources in Inxmail Professional and link them with the newsletter templates.

    Alternatively, you can order Inxmail Enterprise Templates that already contain these functions. When these Inxmail Enterprise Templates are imported, the required data sources are automatically created in Inxmail Professional and linked with the relevant Inxmail Enterprise Template. You may need to enter your login data for the data sources.

  • Setting up a user template (text, HTML, multipart)

    You can also create newsletter templates yourself. Knowledge of XML programming, among other things, is required. Contact us if you are interested in creating your own templates. The Inxmail Academy offers suitable training. Note: Contact your Inxmail contact person or for more information.
