Copying a mailing
It may be useful to copy all data from a particular mailing to a new mailing. You may, for instance, wish to send a similar mailing with only slight changes a few weeks later. You do not have to enter all data again: OpenEMM can create a copy of an existing mailing for you to use.
1. | Open the detailed view for the mailing you wish to copy. At the bottom of the entry dialog, next to the Save and Delete buttons, there is a button Copy. Clicking on it will call up the entry dialog for a new mailing in OpenEMM. |
2. | All settings are identical – from content to attachments, not to forget trackable links. The words Copy of have been added to the mailing Name, and the Description field is empty. Now give your new mailing a meaningful name and description and click on the Save button. |
3. | The various tabs will now be called up for you to enter settings and make any changes you may wish to make. Only the Send mailing and Statistics tabs do not show anything yet since this is a brand-new mailing. |
