Email inserts

Common tags available in email communication

You can use all tags from Insert usage.

Opening a message in the browser

You can generate a URL that opens the message in a browser.

{{ synerise-open-in-browser }}

The URL is generated as plain text. If you want it to display as a hyperlink, add HTML, for example:

<a href="{{ synerise-open-in-browser }}">Click to open the message in a browser</a>

Adding a resignation link

You can generate a URL that revokes the customer’s email communication agreement.

{{ synerise-resign-link }}

The URL is generated as plain text. If you want it to display as a hyperlink, add HTML, for example:

<a href="{{ synerise-resign-link }}">Unsubscribe</a>

Adding UTM and tracking parameters to links

If the message includes links, you automatically add parameters (such as UTM) and track click events by using {% preparelink %}{% endpreparelink %}. This will generate a redirect URL based on the hosting environment of your workspace:

If your workspace is hosted on:

• Microsoft Azure, the default domain for the redirect URL is link.snrs.it,
• Google Cloud, the default domain for the redirect URL is link.geb.snrs.it.

Configuring a custom domain for redirect URL

If you have already set up a custom domain (for example, for first-party tracking), you can use it immediately without any additional configuration; simply contact Synerise Support for assistance. Otherwise, to set up a custom domain for the redirect URL, meet the following requirements:

• If you want to provide your own certificate, make sure it is in X.509 format and you must provide a private key.
• Send the SSL certificate to Synerise Support or give an approval for generating a certificate through Let’s Encrypt.
• Configure DNS - add the CNAME record. Depending on the cloud where your workspace is hosted:
  • for Microsoft Azure, set the CNAME to: link.snrs.it
  • for Google Cloud Platform, set the CNAME to: link.geb.snrs.it
• Submit a customer service request for configuring your domain in Synerise.

Preview in messages

If you use a custom redirect URL, the links in the message preview still use the default domain. The custom domain is applied while sending the messages to customers.

Usage

• Emails:
  • If your link is stored as a Jinja variable and then used as a variable in the HTML, you must use a preparelink tag to generate a link with the parameters:
    

    {% set a = "/" %}
    <a href="{% preparelink %}{{a}}{% endpreparelink %}">Link text</a>

  • If the link is defined in the template as plain HTML, the parameters and tracking are added automatically when parsing the HTML. You don’t need to use the insert:

    <a href="">Link text</a>

• Mobile push and SMS:

  • {% preparelink %}YOUR_URL{% endpreparelink %}    
        

Example of a parsed link:

/?snrs_medium=email&snrs_action=newsletter.click&snrs_test=false&snrs_var=4715029&snrs_cp=6b716f86-a14d-4b8c-8795-872f7432a046&snrs_cl=b5d8c721-c2b7-42ac-9cd5-7714dedf73bf&snrs_category=client._DEVICE_.browser.mail&snrs_he=1940871749&snrs_redir=1

Validation

Whenever you use Jinjava in email communication, verify that it displays correctly for a few different test customers to make sure that the logic you applied covers all scenarios. If Jinjava fails to render, the communication is not sent to a customer at all.

If the sending failed, a message.notSent event is saved to the customer’s profile, with additional information in the extra property. This works both for test emails and already launched communications.

In the following example, a typo (missing w letter) when calling synerise-open-in-browser tag caused a wrong interpretation of the tag and a rendering failure.

{
    "action": "message.notSent",
    "eventUUID": "e0096c9d-8abc-4c4e-b75f-efa3c56934b0",

    }
