Adding a target group to a main element

You can add target groups to certain main elements. This allows you to control a mailing so that it contains main elements only intended for a specific target group.

Example

Your newsletter contains articles intended for all recipients. (These are the blue Article 1 and Article 2 in the graphic.) You have classified certain customers as ‘Premium customers’. The newsletter should contain an additional article for premium customers. (This is the red Article 3 in the graphic.)

You can implement this application scenario by adding the ‘Premium customers’ target group to Article 3.

Step by step

Proceed as follows to add a target group to a main element:

  1. Open the main element to which you want to add the target group, for example Article, in the Template Editor.

    The main element opens and is highlighted in blue.

  2. Click Add element after the name of the element.

  6. Select the Recipients: option button.
  7. Use the drop-down list to select whether the recipients must belong to all, at least one or none of the selected target groups.
  8. Click the (Add target group) button.

    The Add target group dialog box (2) is displayed.

  9. Select the desired target group(s).

    Multiple selection: You can also select multiple target groups all at once. To do this, press and hold down the CTRL key as you click each target group.
