Marketing Campaigns

You can find this section under Email Marketing > Marketing Campaigns in the IRP Admin left navigation menu.

You use this page to set up and manage your event-driven email remarketing campaigns and mailshot campaigns.

Overview

Campaigns are managed as flows stemming from a particular event. You can add various Actions and Timing steps to the flow once you have selected an event type; some steps will be automatically generated.

The available Actions and Timing steps will vary based on the event type you select. For more details, see How to Add or Edit a Marketing Campaign.

Other key features

Other key features of the IRP email marketing suite are described in the sections that follow.

Auditing of email sends

All email sends, including attachments, are audited within IRP Admin. This improves visibility on exactly which emails have been sent to whom. This is used mainly for statistics and advanced functionality and is enabled using two Application Settings in the 'Emails' grouping:

  • Enable Email Auditing: When enabled, every email send will be logged in the database.
  • Enable Email Content Auditing: When enabled, all sent email content will be logged in the database.

You can view email sends on the EmailSendHistory.aspx page (you can also access this page by clicking the Email Send History button on the Mailing List page, MailingList.aspx). Note that customer send records are deleted seven days after sending.

Email stylesheet

The Email Stylesheet is included in all emails. This includes existing system emails, mailshot emails and remarketing emails.

Email Alerts bar

You can see at-a-glance information about your emails using the Emails Alerts Bar at the top of your IRP Admin page (to see this bar, select 'Emails' from the drop-down menu under the search bar at the top of the page):

Emails alert bar

Small Translations for the 'Unsubscribe' link

You can use the following Small Translations for the 'Unsubscribe' link in your emails: 2503, 2504 and 2505.

'Last Engaged' timestamp

The 'Last Engaged' timestamp is recorded against Mailing List entries. This is updated when a customer clicks a link in a marketing email and also when viewing system emails. This helps with tracking the engagement of each Mailing List entry by tracking link clicks within emails. If you have SQL abilities, this would be available in reports querying the Mailing List.

Email validation

Email validation in the IRP makes use of the most up-to-date implementation recommended by Microsoft, thus allowing fully-functioning email address validation for modern addresses and domain names.

Default email address and display name in IRP Admin

You can set the default email address and display name that you see on pages in IRP Admin by setting values for the following Application Settings in the 'Emails' grouping:

  • Offer Email Address: The Offer Email Address that will appear as default on the Administration Email Edit, Private Sale Edit and front-end Email Subscription pages.
  • Offer Email Display Name: The Offer Email Display Name that will appear as default on the Administration Email Edit pages.
