The step used to send an email via Email Manager relies on Drop Folder configuration to be set up in Email Manager:

Alterian Email Manager: Drop Folder Configuration

  • Drop Folders require a base deployment

    • Login to your Email Manager account

    • If required, create a new List

  • Have the email creative ready

  • Create a deployment to the list using the email creative

Drop Folder configuration:

  • Create new Import

  • Select “Verify the headers before importing”

  • Select whether you want to:

    • Upload the records to an existing list OR

    • Create a new one

  • Select the base deployment created earlier

  • Select whether you want to:

    • Reuse an existing deployment OR

    • Copy the base deployment

DDE Rule Setup

  • Configure the Alterian Email Manager Plugin

  • Enter the Email Manager URL and Static Token

  • For the Drop Folder

    • Click Populate List to retrieve details from your Email Manager Account

    • Select the Drop Folder created earlier

  • Click Get Fields to pull down field configuration in the Drop Folder list import

  • The "Map to incoming field" are the fields in the Rule

  • The plugin will try to match these up and create the mapping

  • In Email Manager:

    • If a new list was selected, then a new list will be created

  • If the base deployment was selected to be copied, a new deployment will be created
