Email broadcasting (pre-defined)

FastStats users are able to prepare customer segmentation and data modelling in FastStats and upload targeted data directly into their chosen digital platform. The Email Broadcasting Wizard takes you step by step through the uploading process. This wizard is used with Email Broadcasters that require you to predefine the output format through their website. To use Email Broadcasting your FastStats Administrator will need to make configuration changes to your system. A setup guide is available from Apteco for FastStats Administrators, for each Email Broadcaster FastStats integrates with.

Once you have identified the data for upload you can open the Wizard:

On the Wizard tab click on the Email Broadcasting link within the Output section to start the wizard.

If your FastStats Administrator has created more than one configuration template to use with your Email Broadcaster you will go to the first step of the wizard - Upload template

If your FastStats Administrator has created only one configuration template to use with your Email Broadcaster you will go directly to the second step of the wizard - Selection

Upload template

This step allows you to chose from a list of pre defined configuration templates your FastStats Administrator has set up for use with your Email Broadcaster. Refer to your FastStats Administrator for guidance on the appropriate template to use.

  • Select the template you wish to use for your upload.

Selection

This step allows you to drag on a selection to identify the records you wish to upload.

  • Drag your selection onto the drop zone Drop your selection here.

Details

This step allows you to enter your login details to the Email Broadcaster's site and confirm where a copy of the files will be saved and who will receive the confirmation email.

  1. Enter the Username and Password for your Email Broadcaster account.

  2. Click the retrieve button to display all current List Names. Select a List Name for the upload and tick the box if you want it to overwrite an existing list of that name.

  4. Check the location where a copy of the list will be saved and use the Browse... button to amend this if necessary.
