Configuring values for constants in a mailing
To display constant values in personalized email, you must add the constant to the mailing configuration. You must configure a constant personalization field in advance and add it to the email communication that you reference to the mailing.
Before you begin
In order for a constant to appear in email messages sent with the mailing, do the following before you begin to run or schedule the mailing.
- Create a constant personalization field.
- Add the constant personalization field to a Deliver document.
- Reference the document in the mailing.
About this task
On the mailing tab, the Constants section lists all of the constant personalization fields that you can define for the mailing. The list represents all of the constant personalization fields contained in the Deliver document referenced by the mailing. If the text and HTML versions of the document contain different constant personalization fields, the list includes only the constants related to the currently selected content type.
Procedure
- Open the mailing tab for editing.
In the Constants section, a text entry field appears beneath the name of each constant personalization field.
- In the text entry field for each constant personalization field, select Type a value string and enter the text that you want the field to display.
If you are using the same constant personalization field in other mailings, the text that you enter here does not affect the other mailings.
- Save your changes to return to the summary mailing tab.
In the summary mailing tab, the new text now appears below the name of the constant personalization field in the Constants section.
