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
