Hello and welcome. In this particular video, we will go through the preview and proof of delivery e-mail content on Adobe Campaign Web UI. So let’s get started. Let’s navigate into the application. Once you navigate into the application, let’s go to deliveries and let’s try and create one delivery. Here, I’m choosing an e-mail template. Since I’m going to create an e-mail delivery, I’m going to select an audience. I’m going to create an audience and I’m going to set the condition where e-mail is not now. I’ll say my delivery here. Now that the audience have been selected, I have my main target. Now, I will go ahead and create the content. For this, I will open the e-mail editor. In the e-mail editor, I will choose a predefined template. Here is my template. Here, what I would like to do is to add personalization, and two, I would like to set up conditional content on this particular e-mail. Let me first set up personalization. When you click into a text, you will be presented with a toolbar here, and in this particular toolbar, you will find Add Personalization. Once you hit that, you’ll be presented with a canvas where you can apply personalization. Here, I want to add the first name to the text. So I would select that and confirm. Here is how the personalization looks. Now, on this particular image, I want to set conditional content. Very similar to personalization, when I click into this particular presented with toolbar, and here is an option where you can enable conditional content. When we try to set conditional content, we are presented with a default variant and another variant. The default variant is Peters, and the variant where I want to set condition, and to use another image, I will click into Edit Image, and select what imported media. Once I select this particular image, I’m going to set the criteria. I want to show this particular image to all those individuals who are of age below 21 years. Now, here is my default variant, and here is my variant where I have set a criteria. Now, let me save this delivery. Once I save the delivery, we can look into preview and for that, click into simulate content. In order to preview, let’s add some profiles and test profiles. Let’s go to profiles and configure the list here to add age. As our criteria has age in it, I want to pick individuals who are below 21 years, and those above 21 years. Now, you can see this particular individual at age zero, they are presented with this particular image. Let’s see their personalization. Here is their personalization. Let’s switch. There you go. Here is the image and the personalization. Now, this preview is on a desktop. If you want to preview this on a mobile, you can simply switch to this particular preview. If you have litmus account, you can use this particular render email to preview this particular email content in different email lines. I’m using my personal litmus account. Here they are. I can view my email content on Apple, on Outlook, Gmail, App, iPhone, different versions of iPhone, AOL, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, so on and so forth. Let me navigate back into the application. Now that we have seen reviews, let’s see how proofs can be sent. When you hit the Send Proof button, you are presented with two options, use test profiles or substitute from main target. When you use use profiles, you can simply add a test profile and send the proof. When you use substitute from main target, you can use this option where you can use a random profile and substitute that particular profile with your own email ID, the control button. Once you hit the confirm button, you would be presented with Send Proof. Click into the Send Proof. Now that the proof has been sent, let’s review the proof. Note that proofs are also a kind of deliveries. Make a note of the label on this particular delivery. Proofs are prefixed with proof as compared to regular deliveries. When I hit this button, it takes me to the delivery overview of this particular proof delivery. Let me navigate back into deliveries. On the whole page, I see my proof delivery as well as my regular deliveries. Here you can use the Show Filter button and filter further to only show either proofs or non-proofs. That concludes our demo. Thank you for watching. Happy campaigning. Thank you for watching.
