Sending an email with an ESP
To send an email or test email with the use of an ESP, start generating the email as usual (see
"Generating Email output" on page1003). In the Send (Test) Email dialog, pay attention to the
following settings:
l In the Outgoing mail settings area, select the preset for your ESP in the Presets drop-
down.
l In the Password box, type the password provided by the ESP.
Note
The ESP might also have a test function you can use. Check the options of your ESP.
Adding custom ESP handling instructions
Most ESPs allow you to provide custom handling instructions as part of the email message, via
custom headers. Typically these include instructions to enable open rate tracking, click through
rate tracking and assign tags/categories to messages. Assigning a tag/category allows you to
view statistics per email type in the dashboard of the ESP. Note that each ESP has its own
notation and instructions.
In a Connect template, these custom headers can be added via the Email section properties
(see "Meta information" on page182).
Alternatively custom headers may be added through a Control Script (see "Control Scripts" on
page425, "Control Script API" on page917 and "section" on page964).
The following samples show how to assign a tag or category to a message for various ESPs.
