iWebPress: User Guide |
Whether you chose to format your message in HTML or plain-text or selected a templated message, you will be presented with a list of recipients (click Edit to alter), a field to enter a custom sender name and e-mail address, and a subject line. Only editors can send messages as the newspaper administrator.
The power behind mass e-mailing lies in your ability to use the iWebPress markup language and variables to make the appearance of your e-mail message differ for each user. Templates are by their nature variable documents (see Templates), but you can also include variables in your blank, new messages. See below for a very simple example:
Dear %userName%,
The title of the first of your uncompleted assignments is %userAssignUncompleteTitle(1)%
Thank you,
John Doe
Editor-in-Chief, %paperName%
Templates are covered in much greater depth in the Templates section of the documentation.
