Content: New/Edit Content: Text Message

 For a step-by-step guide to making content, see Content: New Content.

Text Message

The plain-text contents of this message.

Text copied and pasted from word processing programs such as Word may include extra characters, so it should be pasted into a plain-text editor first before being copied into the Text Message box.

If your content also includes an HTML message, your message will be sent out with both text and HTML. This kind of message is called multipart-alternative format, and it ensures that recipients who can read HTML see only HTML, but those who can't see the plain text message.

To create a clickthrough tracking URL, click on Insert URL. You'll be taken to the Content: Insert URL page, where you can create a tracking URL, which you can later track in Reports: Mailing Reports: Tracking Statistics. URLs included in your message may not be highlighted and clickable when received by recipients, depending on the capabilities of their email client.

To personalize the message, click on Insert Field to add a mail merge tag. Or, click on Insert Condition to create conditional content.

Important note for users of earlier versions of ListManager: The list, site or server message wrapping will not be automatically included to your message if you create it through the ListManager administrator GUI. Please remember to add these instructions to your content or mailing, or send the message to the list via email. See Content: Insert Field: Unsubscribe to see how to do so quickly and easily.
