Example: A basic email, step by step — 3. Define the email header
In the previous step, email content has been added.
Now, we're going to setup the email header.
Click the down-arrows on the right to expand the email header section.
Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*). Other fields are optional.
We'll complete all fields in this example.
- As 'From alias' and 'Reply alias', we'll enter 'Parana'.
- For the 'To alias' field, let's click on the Personalization icon to get the Personalization Editor.
From here, we'll select the NAME field in the main Audience List, and the 'Propercase' function to make sure the first letter of the contact's name is shown in uppercase. - As 'Preheader', we'll enter 'Parana Spring Sales'.
- And as 'Subject' enter : 'Limited offer - 20% off on all spring sales until the end of March' + insert a flower emoji.
The 'From address', 'Reply address' and 'Delivery group' are set by default ( depending on how they are configured by your admin).
The email header has been completed and looks like this :
At the bottom-right, there's the possibility to make the email header conditional (which means a different email header depending on certain conditions that you set). In this example, we won't apply this.
