Email marketing - Preheader in newsletter

Lars Larsen

Posted on 24/04/2018 12:38:39

It seems like I can't prevent Dynamicweb from injecting content from the tag "EmailMarketing:Email.PreHeader" in my newsletter! I have tried to use the tag "EmailMarketing:Email.PreHeader.Clean" like this:

<body>
@GetString("EmailMarketing:Email.PreHeader.Clean")

But still Dynamicweb injects the content from the tag "EmailMarketing:Email.PreHeader"! I am running DW v9.3.4. What can be wrong?

Hi Lars,
maybe you should put the placeholder/tag just after the <body> tag with the string like: {{EmailMarketing:Email.PreHeader.Clean}}

Hi Dmitriy

It works with {{EmailMarketing:Email.PreHeader.Clean}}. Strange that the tag @GetString("EmailMarketing:Email.PreHeader.Clean") does not work the same way! Must be a bug, right?

Hi Lars

Well, strange maybe - but it is not a template tag. It is a email merge tag that needs to work in the editor and text fields and hence has a different syntax - also because they are NOT being handled by the rendering engine, but the email marketing engine... So boring technical explanation. But it would not work with GetString because it is a method being executed on render time which happens once for a sendout where the email merge happens once for each user.
