Table of Contents:
The List → List Settings → General tab: is a page to manage general default settings for this List. |
Similar to the Account level notification email address, you can alternatively setup different notification email addresses for each list. Notifications emails such as: Campaign launched, Completed, Failed with Errors, Failed. As noted in the Account Level, if several users need to receive such notifications, then a distribution email address should be used.
Note: List level notifications do not override account notifications, but adds an additional email address per specific list to send to.
Choose this option to disable the WYSIWYG editor in the Email Design page (step 2 of Campaign creation) so the only editor that can be used are the HTML or Text editors. This will apply to all the emails in your list once set. Customers working purely in HTML, and wanting to avoid any small changes the WYSIWYG editor might make upon saving.
Ongage provides this feature so you can send a transactional welcome email to each and every new contact that joins the List (without any need to code a transactional API message).
By setting this up, every new contact that is added to this List, will receive the welcome email message you select in the setup below:
Note:
|
If you'd like to send several follow-up email messages, after this transactional welcome email, see Campaigns → Events & Triggers to set up sending a sequence of follow-up on-boarding messages on: 1 day, 2 days, etc. after new contacts joined this list, by using the Ongage system create date, as the base for that Event. |
The segmented welcome email feature enables marketers to send different welcome messages to different on-boarding contacts, based on data-point values in their list fields.
For example:
To setup this up:
This feature can be used for Google Analytics URL utm parameters as well as any other website traffic tracking technology that uses URL parameters.
Go to List >> List Settings >> General >> URL Parameters.
Once set, those parameters will automatically be appended to the end of all links in all the email messages in the list. So if the links in your email messages are www.mysite.com, the above example will change those links to be: www.mysite.com?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email
You can also set default values for these parameters under Content→ Email Message → Email Settings. The URL Parameters configured at Email Message level will overwrite the default setting at List or Account Level. |
You might also want to check out the similar Post-Back Links feature in the following section. |
Your confirmation email will contain a link as illustrated below. where the 'ocxf_ prefix indicates that the field 'confirm' will get populated with the value 'Yes' when clicked on
<a href="https://www.mywebsite.com?ocxf_confirm=Yes">Click here to confirm</a> |
So if a subscriber clicks on both the 'New York' and 'California' links, then his list field 'dest' will contain the value: "NY;CA;".
<a href="https://www.my-travel.com?ocxfa_dest=NY;">Visit New York</a> <a href="https://www.my-travel.com?ocxfa_dest=FL;">Visit Florida</a> <a href="https://www.my-travel.com?ocxfa_dest=CA;">Visit California</a> <a href="https://www.my-travel.com?ocxfa_dest=WA;">Visit Washington</a> |

When your Post Back Link is ready you can insert it into your email newsletter in the following manner
Create your email content in the WYSIWYG editor:
Note: It might take a little while for the value to be updated.
See the ESP Domain Routing Section and how to configure ESP routing per list or per campaign. |
This setting will be applicable for all the campaigns that you do for this list.
Note: Please note, the campaign level setting will override this list setting and will apply for that specific campaign only.
Link Groups are a way of getting aggregated statistics across a group of links, instead of just individuals ones. Let's illustrate this by example, let's say your email newsletter is schematically built as following:
Header & Intro Entertainment News Entertainment Link 1 Entertainment Link 2 Entertainment Link 3 Sports News Sports Link 1 Sports Link 2 Sports Link 3 Weather News Weather Link 1 Weather Link 2 Weather Link 3 Footer |
You can create Link Groups for "Entertainment", "Sports" and "Weather", and then get aggregated stats on those groups, in order to determine for example, which group of topics gets the most clicks.
Link group stats can be used and measured across multiple campaigns. Meaning by using the same groups in many campaigns, you can get the overall click performance of those groups, over the course of many campaigns, month, months, year.
