Configuring Custom Mailings

To configure custom mailings, click Configure / Mailings (Email Templates). A list of any existing mailings will be displayed. The view, edit, or delete an existing mailing, click the View, Edit, or Del links. To add a new mailing, click the Add New button at the top.

Depending on where the mailing is being used, different "find and replace" parameters will be available. For a complete list of the different types of mailings, when they can sent, and their available parameters, view the Creating Custom Mailings topic.

Mailings are defined by the following options:

Mailing Name: The mailing name - this will appear drop downs within SOLO Server so you can identify which mailing to select.
MailingID: System generated unique ID for the mailing.
Enabled: Whether the mailing is enabled. If not checked, any requests to send this mailing will be skipped.
From Name: The name the email should be from. On some mail clients, this name is shown in place or in addition to the email address.
From EMail: The from email address.
Subject: The subject of the message.
Body (text): The body of the email message in text format.
Body (HTML): The body of the email message in HTML format.
Test Mailing: The "Send Test Mailing" button will send an email to the email address of the current SOLO Server User who is logged in. This test mailing will not replace any parameters with values, and they will still be listed as parameters such as [varLicenseID]. To see the email with the parameters replaced, you must trigger the event that sends the email.

Important

Note that some built in mailings support only text or only html format. See Creating Custom Mailings for details. In cases where both html and text emails are supported, SOLO Server will first look to see if HTML is defined. If so, the HTML is used, otherwise it will look for the text version.
