The store administrator can create and manage multiple newsletters.
To create a newsletter, follow the steps below (Figure 4):
Figure 4: Adding a newsletter
| 1. | Choose the 'Newsletters' section from the 'Management' menu. The newsletter management page will open. |
| 2. | Under the 'Add a newsletter' subtitle: |
| • | Type in the 'Newsletter title' (mandatory). |
| • | Specify the newsletter description in the 'Description' field. The field is visible in both Administrator and Customer Zones. |
| • | Set the value of the 'Active' field to 'Yes' to enable the newsletter, or 'No' to disable. Only active newsletters are available for subscription. |
| • | Set the value of the 'In the news' field to 'Yes' to make its messages appear in the 'News' tab at the customer front-end and in the 'News and announcements' section of the Customer Zone. Active newsletters which appear in the news are available for subscription to unregistered customers. If the value of the 'In the news' field is set to 'No', subscription to the newsletter is only available to registered customers or to the e-mails manually specified by the administrator. |
| Note: | If a customer is subscribed to newsletters which are not publicly available ('In the news' is set to 'No') and his profile is removed from the store database, he is automatically unsubscribed from all such newsletters. |
| 3. | Click on the 'Add' button. The newly created list will appear in the list of 'Available newsletters' (Figure 5). |

You can make changes to the initial settings of the newsletter: modify the values of the fields as needed and click on the' Update' button underneath the newsletter definition (Figure 6) for those changes to take effect.

To delete a newsletter, click on the 'Delete' button below it.
