AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our . Find the supported versions here.

You can publish newsletters to e-mail services such as ExactTarget and Silverpop Engage. This document describes how to configure AEM to publish a newsletter to these e-mail services.

NOTE
You need to configure the service provider before you can create and publish an email. See Configuring ExactTarget and Configuring Silverpop Engage for more information.

To publish your email to the email service provider, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Create an email.
  2. Apply the Email Service configuration to the email.
  3. Publish the email.
NOTE
If you update email providers, do a flight test, or send a newsletter, these operations fail if the newsletter is not published to the Publish instance first or if the Publish instance is not available. Be sure to publish your newsletter and make sure the Publish instance is up and running.

Creating an Email creating-an-email

An email or newsletter that you want to publish to an e-mail service can be created under a campaign using the Geometrixx Newsletter template. You can also use the Geometrixx Outdoors E-Mail template. Sample email/newsletter-based on the Geometrixx Outdoors E-Mail template are available at https://<hostname>:<port>/cf#/content/campaigns/geometrixx-outdoors/e-mails.html.

  1. Go to Websites and then Campaigns. Select a campaign.
  2. Click New to open the Create Page window.
  3. Enter the title, name, and select the Geometrixx Newsletter template from the list of available templates.
  4. Click Create.
  5. Open the created email.

    The email with the email tools is available for use in the configured ExactTarget account.

NOTE

  • The URLs within the email tools are replaced (in the received email) by their actual values only when an email is sent using Simple Send or Guided Send but not Test Send.

  • Two of the email tools are required: Physical Mailing Address (Required) and Profile Center (Required). When the email is published to ExactTarget, these two email-tools are added to the bottom of every mail by default.
