    You create a recipient list by configuring a Deliver process and completing a production run of the flowchart that contains it. When the flowchart run completes, the system automatically uploads the list to the hosted messaging environment. Reference the list in a mailing configuration to make recipient data available for use in messages.
  - About planning a recipient list
    A well-designed recipient list is critical to effectively personalizing your marketing messages. The design must consider the information that is available in your marketing database and the design requirements of the message that you plan to use with the list.

    - Selecting recipients for personalized messages
      You select message recipients in Campaign by selecting one or more flowchart cells as input cells to a Deliver process. Doing so identifies members of the cells as message recipients in the output list table (OLT). The OLT serves as the recipient list that you reference in a messaging campaign.
    - To select multiple input cells
      Depending on the design of the flowchart that contains the Deliver process, you might want to specify more than one input cells. The Deliver process provides a control to select multiple cells as input to the Deliver process.
    - Source tab screen reference
      Use the Source tab to select input cells that provide information, including address information, about message recipients.
  - Recipient list definition
    You define a recipient list as an Output List Table (OLT) with the Output tab of a Deliver process in a Campaign flowchart. The table stores recipient IDs, email addresses, phone numbers for Push, SMS, and WhatsApp and additional personalization data and metadata that are selected and produced during the flowchart run.
  - Populating the OLT
    After you define the recipient list as an Output List Table (OLT), you must create the table and add recipient data. To create and populate the recipient list, you must complete a production run of the Campaign flowchart that contains the Deliver process that you used to define the list.
  - Recipient lists and transactional messages
    An Output List Table is not required to personalize transactional messages. For transactional messages, corporate transaction management systems and a local transactional messagel client application provide the recipient information instead of an OLT.
  - About working with existing recipient lists
    After you define, save, and upload a recipient list as an Output List Table (OLT), you can update the list definition, update the data in the list, or delete the list. You can also manually clear data from a list that contains recipient data.
  - Automatic removal of inactive recipient lists
    Data retention practices observed in HCL Unica automatically remove an uploaded recipient list from HCL Unica when the list is inactive for more than 30 days. Removing the recipient list removes all personal data and metadata that is associated with individuals on the list.
- Personalized messaging
  Unica Deliver provides message composition and personalization features that you can use to design graphically rich messages that deliver a marketing message with content that can automatically change to fit the characteristics of the message recipient.
- About configuring a mailing
  Creating and configuring a Deliver message creates the framework for organizing and running a marketing campaign.
- About testing Deliver mailings
  Testing a messaging allows you to identify and resolve any problems that might exist with your messaging list, verify how the message will appear to each recipient, and address issues that might interfere with efficient transmission and delivery of your communication. For best results, test each Deliver messaging before you use it to send a production messaging.

  Digital marketers construct email, landing pages, WhatsApp messages, and text messages in Unica Deliver in the Deliver Message Editor.

- Overview

Recipient selection

To select recipients, you must add a Deliver process to a Campaign flowchart and complete a production run of the flowchart. You can use standard flowchart tools and logic to specify one or more cells as inputs to the Deliver process. You can select production recipients, test recipients, and select addresses for use in seed lists.

To configure the process inputs, you can specify any cell within the flowchart that contains the Deliver process. You can use a Select process, other flowchart logic, or strategic segments to build recipient lists by including or excluding input cells. Each input cell contains the IDs for the recipients.

Use the Source tab on a Deliver process to add groups of individuals to the recipient list, as follows.

Production recipients.
Production recipients are the customers and prospects that you want to reach as part of your messaging marketing campaign. They receive a personalized message when you execute a production run of a Deliver mailing.
Test recipients.
Test recipients are sample message recipients that you can use to test message content and delivery before starting a production messaging run. In most cases test recipients are selected members of your organization, or sample recipients that you have created.
Seed list.
A seed list is a list of sample email addresses distributed throughout a production recipient list. By determining when and if an email message arrives at a seed address, you can estimate how quickly the mailing is reaching your intended recipients, and whether delivery problems might be preventing the messages from arriving.
