Email is sent in a single batch for the whole record set.
To test a template, you can send a test email first.
Output, generated from an Email template, can have the following attachments:
l The contents of the Print context, in the form of a single PDF attachment.
l Other files, an image or a PDF leaflet for example.
Attaching the Print context is one of the options in the Send (Test) Email dialog.
To learn how to attach other files, see "Email attachments" on page125.
Before generating Email output
l Decide on the use of an Email Service Provider; see "Using an ESP with PrintShop Mail
Connect" on page599.
l Make sure that a data set is loaded, that any necessary files, such as images and
attachments, are in place, and that the correct settings are selected (see below).
l
You may want to rasterize certain elements, such as business graphics. Rasterizing
converts the element to a JPG or PNG image. This is very useful to support as many
clients as possible. For example, some email clients may not support SVG, so converting
a resource to JPG instead would ensure that most email clients would actually see the
output.
To rasterize an element, right-click it and select Rasterize options. For a JPG image you
can set the quality of the resulting image in a percentage.
Email output settings in the Email context and sections
The following settings for the Email context and Email sections have an impact on how the
actual emails are sent.
l An Email To Script must be available in the template and refer to a valid email address;
see "Email header settings" on page120. If any record does not have a valid email, this
record is skipped automatically when generating email output.
