Mailings

You implement Mailings by assembling the default Outbound E-mail Template Building Blocks into a Page Template that is used in a Mailing and by modifying the Dreamweaver Template used to render the content of a Mailing.

Mailings combine content (the e-mail Page) with Contacts (the recipients of a Mailing). A Page Template is used to transform an e-mail Page into a publishable e-mail. The Page Template specifies how the Page as a whole and how Components included on the Page are displayed.

Outbound E-mail ships with a number of predefined default Template Building Blocks which have been designed to perform all the basic templating tasks required by Outbound E-mail. You implement a Mailing for Outbound E-mail by creating a Compound Page Template and assembling these default Template Building Blocks onto the Compound Page Template in the designated order. You also need to include a Dreamweaver Template on your Compound Page Template.
