118

[[image:attach:media_1428428296046.png||align="center"]]

119

120

**If you do not check the box, the product will not be attached to the package.**

122

123

=== 3. Click "Save", and the file-type product will be saved. ===

124

[[image:attach:media_1428428440527.png||align="center"]]

129

130

Note: You may cancel product creation by clicking on the Go Back button **before** clicking Save. Doing so will bring you back to the Products listing page without creating a product.

131

132

=== Product Type: Newsletter ===

133

134

[[image:attach:media_1428431234909.png||align="center"]]

135

136

When you select "Newsletters" from the "Product Type:" drop-down menu, you will see the message "Please Select Newsletter lists to associate with this product." with a drop-down check box list of all existing newsletter lists (called subscriber lists the ONEcount Email Engine). This list of newsletter lists shows all of the existing newsletter/subscriber lists that reside in the Email Engine or in your email package if using an Email provider other than the ONEcount Email Engine. (Note that your system must be connected to ONEcount via API to use an outside Email provider.)

137

138

You can select the existing newsletter list(s) you wish to associate with the product - and by extension with the package - or create a new newsletter list (subscriber list). When you create a new Newsletter list, you are creating a new, empty list in the Email Engine that is associated with the Newsletter package.

139

140

(% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)***If using the Email Engine to manage your newsletter/email lists, when you create a new newsletter list (as described below) ONEcount will automatically create the list** in the Email Engine. When users submit the subscription form for the package with the newsletter product, they will automatically be placed on the newsletter list in the Email Engine. Their demographic and subscription data will also be added the ONEcount database. If you are using a different email marketing provider, please check with GCN to verify if an API is available.

141

142

(% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)The product must be created and attached to a package prior to an import or user subscription via an online form. ONEcount won't push package subscribers to a newsletter package created (% style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline" %)after(% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %) the user subscribed to a package (either through import or user action)(% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %).

143

144

(% style="text-decoration: underline;" %)Package > Newsletter-Type Product > Newsletter List Heirarchy(%%)

145

The heirarchy is package > newsletter-type product > newsletter list, so if a user subscribes to a package that has an attached newsletter-type product and that product has multiple newsletter lists associated with it, the user will be subscribed to the package in ONEcount and added to each of the designated newsletter/subscriber lists in the Email Engine.

146

//For example//:

147

148

* You have a package called //Newsletter Bundle// that is a subscription to receive three different newsletters.

149

* The //Newsletter Bundle// package must have a newsletter-type product attached to it – in this case the name of the product is //Newsletter Bundle-Daily/Weekly/Monthly.//

150

* The //Newsletter Bundle-Daily/Weekly/Monthly// product has three different newsletter lists associated with it: //Daily Aviation News, Aviation Brief, and Avionics Monthly//.

151

* When a user subscribes to the //Newsletter Bundle// package, the subscription transaction is recorded in ONEcount, and (s)he is placed on all three lists in the Email Engine (or other Email provider).

152

153

Note that there may also be an individual package and product for each newsletter, so, for example:

154

155

There is an //Aviation News (Daily)// package.

156

The //Aviation News (Daily)// product has a newsletter-type product called //Aviation News (Daily)// attached to it.

157

The //Aviation News (Daily)// product has only the //Daily Aviation News// newsletter list associated with it.

158

When a user subscribes to //Aviation News (Daily)//, the transaction is recorded in ONEcount and (s)he is placed only on the //Daily Aviation News// newsletter list in the Email Engine (or other Email provider).
