Basic Email and Banded Email
The difference between Basic and Banded email is that the contents of a Basic email extend to
the email's margin, rather than to the edge of the window in which it is read, as the contents of
Banded emails do.
The Banded Email Action Template is a simple call-to-action email with a message, header
and a button linking to a website, such as an informational or landing page.
The Banded Email Invoice Template is an invoice with an optional Welcome message and
Pay Now button.
Settings
For a Blank email you can not specify any settings in the Wizard.
For an Action or Invoice email, the Email Template Wizard lets you choose:
l The subject. You can change and personalize the subject later, see "Email header
settings" on page 133.
l The text for the header. The header is the colored part at the top. The text can be edited
later.
l The color of the header and the color of the button. The color value must be a valid HTML
Color Name, or a valid hexadecimal color code. To get a hexadecimal color code, you
could use an online color picker tool (such as W3Schools' Color Picker). The color can be
changed later; see "Colors" on page 235.
l The web address where the recipient of the email will be taken after clicking the button in
the email. Type the URL in the Link field.
In addition, for an Invoice email you can change the following content settings:
l
Show Welcome Message. Check this option to insert a salutation and one paragraph
with dummy text in the email.
l
Detail Table Name. Type the name of a detail table to fill the lines of the invoice with
data. In the Designer, a detail table is a field in the Data Model that contains a variable
number of items (usually transactional data).
Note
Detail tables can not be used in PrintShopMail Connect. They are created with the
DataMapper module that is included in PlanetPress Connect and PreS Connect.
