Target Groups (personalization)

About this task

Outbound E-mail makes it possible to send different Components in a Mailing to different recipients. This process is known as personalization. Outbound E-mail uses Target Groups to determine who gets which Components. If you want to use personalization in your Mailings, you must make modifications to the Page Template.

Procedure

  1. To make a Page Template usable for personalization, access the Page Template.
  2. Find every instance of a Component Presentation being written to output. Normally, such a call would look like this:
    WriteOut ComponentPresentation.Content
  3. Replace each of these instances with a call to a function called OutboundEmail.GetTaggedCP(), so that the line reads:
    WriteOut OutboundEmail.GetTaggedCP(ComponentPresentation)
  4. Save and close the Page Template.
