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. You have classified certain customers as premium customers. The newsletter should contain an additional article for premium customers.

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

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