Recipients

Recipients and all replacement values for each recipient are imported from delimited text files (usually TXT or CSV files).

Each line in the file represents one recipient, with each field separated by a consistent character (for example, CSV files usually have each field separated by a comma).

The first line in the file specifies the names fror each field. These names are used as the replacement field names when embedding replacement fields in message templates.

Here is an example of a simple recipient file containing 3 people, and the email address and first name for each.

EMAILADDR,FIRSTNAME
bob@mail.com,Bob
john17@hotmail.com,John
robert@yahoo.com,Robert

The replacement field for the email address is EMAILADDR and would be embedded in the template as [EMAILADDR].

The replacement field for the first name is FIRSTNAME and would be embedded in the template as [FIRSTNAME].

You can have as many fields as you like in a recipient file. Make sure that the first line of a file contains the names of every field. We suggest making the field names all CAPITALS to make it easier to see replacement values in message templates.
