Email Marketing
The Odoo Email marketing module is an advanced marketing and communicating technique that will allow your business to send messages to a group of individuals through the email communication system. This successful communication method can bring more new customers to your business.
The first step for entering this module is to install the module. If you are entering the Email marketing module, you can view the home dashboard window as depicted below.
Here in this home dashboard window, you can view the already created mailings described in different stages according to their status such as Draft, In Queue, Sending, and Send. Now let us discuss how to create new Mailings on the platform.
Mailings
The Odoo platform allows you to create new mailings by selecting the Create icon available in the Mailings window. For that, you can go to Email marketing -> Mailings -> Create. Upon clicking on the Create button, you will be depicted with a Mailings creation form as shown below.
Here in this creation form, you can specify the Subject of emails in the allotted space and you can describe the Preview Text which are the attractive preview sentences that encourage recipients to open this email. In most inboxes, it is displayed next to the subject. You can also keep the box empty if you prefer the first characters of your email content to appear instead. After that, you can add the Recipients model from the drop-down menu. After selecting the recipients, you can select the related records and the record can be filtered.
Under the Mail Body tab, you can choose the suitable template for the mail and you can make desirable changes by using the drag and drop option.
In the Settings tab of the window, you can provide the Name, Responsible person, Send from, Reply-To, Mail Server. Moreover, you can attach an important file under the Attachment option.
Under the Dynamic Placeholder Generator, you can view the options such as Field, Sub-model Sub-field Default Value, and Placeholder Expression.
After providing all the necessary details, you can click on the Save button to save the details. Now you have the provision to send the email or Schedule them for another day in the future by selecting the Schedule button available.
