Create new recipients

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The OpenEMM system allows creation of individual recipients. This only makes sense if you want to create a few new recipients. In most cases, importing existing data (see chapter "Import function for recipient data") or having users register themselves via the web interface will be more practical (chapter "Forms - Recipient management"). To create a new recipient, proceed as follows:

1.Click on Recipients, then New recipient in the navigation bar.

2.An entry dialog opens in the contents area for you to enter data for the new subscriber. This looks like the screen for new recipients (chapter "Show recipient profile"). Fields in the upper area (from salutation to e-mail) should be filled in to do personalized E-Mail-Marketing.
Please note: You must enter a unique e-mail address for the new recipient.
Internally, OpenEMM manages all e-mail addresses in small letters. When entering the e-mail address you do not therefore have to take capitalization into account and all addresses can be entered directly using small letters.
The Salutation drop-down list only sets the recipient’s sex. The actual form of address is defined elsewhere (see chapter "Types of address"). Leave the mail format as HTML (default) unless you want another format (see chapter "Mailings - Sending out newsletters").
3.The fields CHANGE_DATE, CREATION_DATE and DATASOURCE_ID under More profile data will be filled by the OpenEMM automatically. You can enter relevant data in user-defined fields where necessary.
4.Under Mailing lists you can tick the lists the new recipient wants to subscribe to. Leave the default value Normal recipient in the Type drop-down list unless you want to enter a different type for testing purposes.
5.To conclude your entries, click on the Save button. The OpenEMM system creates a new recipient.
