Sending A Newsletter Before a newsletter can be sent, the newsletter entry needs to be locked to show other administrators, who may be online at the time, that a newsletter is pending to be delivered. When locked, a newsletter can be edited, deleted, previewed, sent, or unlocked. Once a newsletter entry has been locked, it can be sent to the targeted audience via the chosen newsletter module. Depending on the newsletter module chosen, the target audience may need to be defined before the newsletter can be sent. This is not required for the newsletter module as the target audience is already known (customers who have chosen to receive newsletters), however the target audience needs to be defined for the product notification module where the administrator must select which products the newsletter is in relation to so that customers who have selected to be notified over certain product updates can receive the newsletter. Once the target audience has been defined, a preview of the newsletter is shown for last minute changes to be performed, and the number of customers who will receive the newsletter is presented. The newsletter can then be sent when it has been confirmed via the online preview of the content. |
