How to create a dynamic email using scenario?
Go to:
AUTOMATION PROCESSES -> WIZARDS -> DYNAMIC EMAILS
Main steps:
- Choose an email or create a new one
- Product frame
- Choose the scenario
- Adjust the settings of the mailing
1. Email / Create a new email
The first step is to create a new email or choose the ready one. In the first case, you need to click [+] Create new and you will be redirected to the wizard.
In SALESmanago, you can create emails in our advanced Drag&Drop Email Designer. Thanks to the various widgets available you can create personalized emails within a blink of an eye. The process of designing an email is quick and simple and all you need to do is to drag and drop the chosen elements into it. The unique technology applied in the designer provide maximum effects.
If you have chosen a ready email click Select (1) to have the email displayed in the preview. You can check how the message will look like when displayed on the desktop, tablet or smartphone (2) and click Next (3) to proceed to the settings of the message.
2. Product frame widget
The product frame is a necessary element of the email with the product recommendations. The content of such product frame can include items that were recently viewed by a user. Each field in the widget contains a code, which loads product data from the XML file (by standards the file contains information about name, category, price, and description) of your shop and into the message.
- General settings
In the general settings you can adjust the layout (1) – you can choose one of three available layouts in which the product will display in the frame, maximum number of products in one element (2), number of products in one row (3), and the background color (4).
- Product fields
In this tab you can choose the information about the product that you want to display. By default, it is name, description, category, and price. If the XML file includes non-standard information about the product (e.g. discounted price) you can add them by clicking + on the chosen information. In the effect, this piece of information will appear in the text field.
In the text field you can freely edit the font, change its color and type, its size, you can change alignment, add bullets, etc. Additionally, you can include editable text which you can add before or after the units of information about the product.

After creating an email, the next step is choosing a scenario. To do that, you need to choose an email scenario (1) from 7 scenarios available including the one of your own creation (it lets choosing scenario individually for each product field), then, choose a product scenario (2). Scenarios are picked automatically to the number of products in the email (e.g. if a scenario consists of 5 products, the same amount will be displayed). And the last stage is to complete email with the products (3). In case of an insufficient number of products (e.g. not enough products in the XML file or an insufficient number of recommendations for a particular contact), you can choose a mechanism that will put other products in place. You can choose which type of products will complete the email. By default, these are recently viewed products and recommendations not older than 14 days.
