Email
With the Designer you can create one or more Email templates and merge the template with a
data set to generate personalized emails.
The Email context is the folder in the Designer that can contain one or more Email templates,
also called Email sections. The HTML generated by this context is meant to be compatible
with as many clients and as many devices as possible.
Email template
It is strongly recommended to start creating an Email template with a Wizard; see "Creating an
Email template with a Wizard" on page111. Designing HTML email that displays properly on a
variety of devices and screen sizes is challenging. Building an email is not like building for the
web. While web browsers comply with standards (to a significant extent), email clients do not.
Different email clients interpret the same HTML and CSS styles in totally different ways.
When an Email template is created, either with a Wizard or by adding an Email context to an
existing template (see "Adding a context" on page68), the Email context folder is created along
with other files that are specific to an Email context; see "Email context" on page115.
Only one Email section is created at the start, but you can add as many Email sections as you
need; see "Email templates" on page117. However, when the Designer merges a data set to
generate output from the Email context, it can merge only one of the templates with each
record; see "Generating Email output" on page596.
Email templates are personalized just like any other template; see "Variable Data" on
page247.
Sending email
When the template is ready, you can change the email settings (see "Email header settings" on
page120) and send the email. To test a template, you can send a test email first.
