Editing a Mailshot
- Select any of the listed Mailshots and press [Edit].
- Click [Edit the Letter].
- This should open up Notepad and display a series of codes and text. If you scroll down the page, towards the centre of the document, you will see the text of the letter.
- Any of the text to the right of the "}" symbol can be edited; eg:
- ^{M 9,137}Remember to book early to avoid disappointment.
- could be changed to:
- ^{M 9,137}Remember to book early as we are extremely busy this time of year.
 | Any string that begins with an "$" is pulling information from file to print on each individual letter, for example, the customer's name or vehicle make etc. To see a list of available items to go after the "$", please see the Report Generator variables in the Workshop area of the knowledge base. |
- When you have finished editing the letter, click [File] then click [Exit]. Click [Yes] to save the changes.
- Press <Esc> then click[Accept] and then click [Finish Editing].
You are now ready to run your amended Mailshot by pressing [Start] and then following the on-screen prompts.
