Advanced Scripting Introduction and Index

 

Custom Scripts allow you to insert complex, dynamic content into your messages. In ListManager, you can do this with a highly flexible programming language called Tcl (pronounced "tickle").

 

Tcl was designed specifically to make scripting easy to learn and use. As a result, you don't have to be an advanced programmer to create custom scripts -- and the examples in the sections below will show you ways of dealing with common problems. People with programming experience, however, will find that Tcl also has powerful tools for interacting with customer data, and can permit you to do most anything you want.

 

 

Advanced Scripting is not available for ListManager Standard licenses. It must be enabled in Utilities: List Settings: For Programmers: Email Scripting and Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Security.
