=====Documentation page: Send a Message=====


This is the central feature of phplist (see [[MessageFunctionsInfo Message functions]]). There are several **options** to send a message using phplist, depending on your needs. For the documentation pages, we will replicate the division by "tabs" you can find in the ##send a message## page:

Content tab
[[SendMessageFormatInfo Format tab]]
[[SendMessageAttachInfo Attach tab]]
[[SendMessageSchedulingInfo Scheduling tab]]
[[SendMessageCriteriaInfo Criteria tab]]
[[SendMessageListsInfo Lists tab]]
[[SendMessageMiscInfo Misc tab]]

We will begin with the **Content** tab. For the other tabs, please click on the links above.


====Content tab====

%%To send a message fill out the information below. The minimum requirement for a valid message
is the information in the "Content" tab. Make sure to save your changes before going to a new tab or
they will be lost. To finish your message and send it for real, choose the "Lists" tab,
select your lists and click the button "Send Message to Selected Mailinglists"%%
~This is self-explanatory :)

**##? Subject: [empty field]##**
~This corresponds to the 'Subject' of your message/email. You cannot use placeholders here. You can use chinese or hebrew letters here, but only using phpmailer, otherwise it wont work.

**##? From Line: [empty field]##**
~If you click on the question mark ('**?**'), you will understand how this field can be appropriately filled in:
~You can use three different methods to set the ##from line##:
~**One word**: this will be reformatted as ##the_word@domain.com##
~~For example: //information// will become ##information@domain.com##, if ##domain.com## is the domain in your [[ConfigurePhplistInfo configuration]].
~~In most email programs this will show up as being from ##information@domain.com##
~**Two or more words**: this will be reformatted as ##the words you type ##
~~For example: //list information// will become ##list information ##, if ##listmaster## is the default address for the system administrator (see your [[ConfigurePhplistInfo configuration]]).
~~In most email programs this will show up as being from ##list information##
~**Zero or more words and an email address**: this will be reformatted as ##Words ##
~~For example: //My Name my@email.com// will become ##My Name ##
~~In most email programs this will show up as being from ##My Name##
~It is important to **choose your "from line" wisely**, as anyone who wishes to **reply** to the message will reply to this address.


===The text of the message / Using placeholders===

**##? Message. [empty text field]##**
~You can write or paste your message in this text field. You can use custom [[Placeholders Placeholders]] which will be replaced by the appropriate values for each user. Click on the question mark ('**?**') for the list of custom placeholders which you can use on your system.

For example if you have an [[ConfigureAttributesInfo attribute]] "First Name" put [FIRST NAME] in the message somewhere to identify the location where the "First Name" value of the recipient needs to be inserted.
To send the contents of a webpage, add the following to the content of the message:
[URL:http://www.example.org/path/to/file.html]
You can include basic user information in this URL, not attribute information:
[URL:http://www.example.org/userprofile.php?email=[email]]

//Example://
Imagine your system contains the following attributes: First Name, City, Favorite food. You can send a message formatted like this (please respect the formatting style):

%%Hello [FIRST NAME],

You live in [CITY] and you like to eat [FAVORITE FOOD].
Well we have just what you need!
Please pick up your e-invitation at http://www.pasta.com/user.php?email=[email]
If you wish to change your settings,
please click on: [PREFERENCES]%%

Once this message is sent, the placeholders are replaced by values for each user, for example:

%%Hello John,

You live in Bigtown and you like to eat Spaguetti with meatballs.
Well we just have just what you need!
Please pick up your e-invitation http://www.pasta.com/user.php?email=john@doe.com
If you wish to change your settings,
please click on http://www.mysite.com/lists/?p=preferences&uid=9589sb938ag93...%%

**##Message Footer.##**
**##Use [UNSUBSCRIBE] to insert the personal unsubscribe URL for each user.
Use [PREFERENCES] to insert the personal URL for a user to update their details.##**
This is self-explanatory. The default message footer is defined in your [[ConfigurePhplistInfo system configuration]]. In your message, you are free to do what you wish with your message footer: keep it, delete it, change it...


===Test message===

#%Send test message#% button ##to email address(es): [empty field]
(comma separate addresses - all must be users)##

This feature allows you to send a test message to the email addresses typed in the empty field (use commas to separate addresses). All email addresses must correspond to a [[UserInfo user]] in your system.
This feature is particularly useful if you have complex messages with several placeholders, links or HTML formatting. What you see is not necessarily what you get, so send yourself a test message to see what the message looks like. The placeholders will be replaced by the values in the file of the user who will receive the test message. If the user is John Doe, and you send John Doe the test message, the placeholder [NAME] will be replaced by... John Doe.
**Note**: you will receive automatically **two** test messages: one in plain text, one with HTML formatting. When you send the message normally, users will only receive one version (the one they prefer/you chose for them).

====Preliminary remarks====
To send a message using Phplist, there are a minimum of four rules to follow:
~1) You have to have a message: you can't send an empty message! So the ##[[SendMessageInfo Content]]## page must be appropriately filled in.
~1) You have to choose one or several lists you will send the message to. So you must choose something in the ##[[SendMessageListsInfo Lists]]## page.
~1) Do not forget to click on #%Save changes#% when you go from one tab to the next.
~1) You have to ##[[ProcessQueueInfo process queue]]## to actually send out the message. See the link for more.
Note: whenever you send a **test message**, none of the rules above apply. It is highly recommended to send yourself a test message if you are unfamiliar with Phplist. Please note that a test message will **not** take into account any [[SendMessageCriteriaInfo Criteria]], but it **will** replace placeholders by the values of the file of the user specified in the address field.
===Tips===
~1) Send yourself a test message before sending our your message. This is particularly true if you send out complex messages with [PLACEHOLDERS] and/or HTML formatting.
~1) Try using [PLACEHOLDERS] whenever you can. This is useful to personalize your emails. See below for more.
~1) Allow people to return to their personal file by adding a [PREFERENCES] link somewhere in your message.

REMARQUES PRELIMINAIRES
Cette page permet d'envoyer un email à des personnes sélectionées en fonction d'un certain nombre de critères (opérateur ET uniquement entre les critères) ou en fonction d'aucun critère, soit aux listes administrées par l'admin restreint (par exemple: 'info-fr' et 'info-Paris'), soit à toutes les listes.
Note: le nombre de critères est déterminé par l'administrateur lors de la configuration de PHPlist. Il peut aller de 0 à ...
Attention: pour le moment, il n'y a pas de moyen d'utiliser un autre opérateur que ET entre les critères de sélection. Cela signifie qu'il faut bien réfléchir au type de message que vous allez envoyer et à qui vous cherchez à vous adresser.
Par exemple: vous pouvez envoyer un email à toutes les personnes de 'info-Paris' qui ont pour prénom Pierre, ET comme centre d'intérêt "Cinéma". Vous ne pouvez PAS envoyer un email aux personnes de 'info-Paris' qui ont Pierre pour prénom, OU qui s'intéressent au "Cinéma". Il faut faire deux messages distincts.
Vous ne pouvez pas envoyer un email aux personnes inscrites sur 'info-ru' si vous n'administrez pas cette liste. Vous êtes obligés d'envoyer un email à toutes les personnes inscrites sur au moins une liste.
Par contre: vous pouvez envoyez un email aux personnes qui habitent à Paris OU Lyon OU Nîmes, si ces villes sont des valeurs prédéfinies d'un même attribut (par exemple: villes françaises).
INSTRUCTIONS PRECISES
Subject : le 'sujet' de votre message (le titre de l'email). Soyez clair et succinct.
From line : Par défaut: 'adresse@monsite.org' configuré par l'administrateur. Cela signifie que si la personne 'Répond' à l'email que vous envoyez, c'est l'email par défaut qui reçevra la réponse, pas nécessairement vous. Pensez à changer cette ligne pour pouvoir répondre plus précisément aux questions de vos correspondants (par exemple: 'info-fr@monsite.org', ou, tout simplement, 'info-fr' qui sera converti automatiquement par PHPList en 'info-fr@monsite.org').
Embargoed until : ce message ne sera envoyé qu'à la date et l'heure précisée. Par défaut, le message sera envoyé immédiatement.
Format: Autodetect / HTML / Text . C'est le format du message que vous envoyez. Préférez soit 'Autodetect', soit 'Text'.
Use template : XXX
Message : ici vous mettez le texte de votre message. Il y a des codes propres à PHPLIST qui vous permettent de personnaliser le message: voir BalisesPHPlist. Il est conseillé de préparer votre message ailleurs, et de copier/coller le message dans cette fenêtre très étroite. Une fois votre message collé, vous n'avez plus besoin de le modifier: normalement, il apparaîtra comme vous l'aviez préparé.

Send test message : vous pouvez envoyer un message d'essai à une adresse email contenue dans la base de données (l'email que vous avez personnellement inscrit sur la base, par exemple, l'email de personnes que vous connaissez, etc). Vous ne pouvez pas envoyer de 'test message' à une adresse qui n'est pas contenue dans la base de données. Vous ne pouvez pas envoyer un 'test message' à une liste de diffusion.

Attention: n'oubliez pas de cocher le bouton à gauche du critère choisi (par exemple: '[Bouton rond] Sport préféré [menu déroulant]' Il faut cliquer sur le bouton rond, et sélectionner une valeur dans le menu, par exemple: baby-foot.)
Pour chaque critière choisi, il faut donc cocher une case (au début) et un bouton rond (celui du critère choisi).

REMARQUES PRELIMINAIRES

Cette page permet d'envoyer un email à des personnes sélectionées en fonction d'un certain nombre de critères (opérateur ET uniquement entre les critères) ou en fonction d'aucun critère, soit aux listes administrées par l'admin restreint (par exemple: 'info-fr' et 'info-Paris'), soit à toutes les listes.
Note: le nombre de critères est déterminé par l'administrateur lors de la configuration de PHPlist. Il peut aller de 0 à ...

Attention: pour le moment, il n'y a pas de moyen d'utiliser un autre opérateur que ET entre les critères de sélection. Cela signifie qu'il faut bien réfléchir au type de message que vous allez envoyer et à qui vous cherchez à vous adresser.

Par exemple: vous pouvez envoyer un email à toutes les personnes de 'info-Paris' qui ont pour prénom Pierre, ET comme centre d'intérêt "Cinéma". Vous ne pouvez PAS envoyer un email aux personnes de 'info-Paris' qui ont Pierre pour prénom, OU qui s'intéressent au "Cinéma". Il faut faire deux messages distincts.
Vous ne pouvez pas envoyer un email aux personnes inscrites sur 'info-ru' si vous n'administrez pas cette liste. Vous êtes obligés d'envoyer un email à toutes les personnes inscrites sur au moins une liste.

Par contre: vous pouvez envoyez un email aux personnes qui habitent à Paris OU Lyon OU Nîmes, si ces villes sont des valeurs prédéfinies d'un même attribut (par exemple: villes françaises).


INSTRUCTIONS PRECISES

Subject : le 'sujet' de votre message (le titre de l'email). Soyez clair et succinct.

From line : Par défaut: 'adresse@monsite.org' configuré par l'administrateur. Cela signifie que si la personne 'Répond' à l'email que vous envoyez, c'est l'email par défaut qui reçevra la réponse, pas nécessairement vous. Pensez à changer cette ligne pour pouvoir répondre plus précisément aux questions de vos correspondants (par exemple: 'info-fr@monsite.org', ou, tout simplement, 'info-fr' qui sera converti automatiquement par PHPList en 'info-fr@monsite.org').

Embargoed until : ce message ne sera envoyé qu'à la date et l'heure précisée. Par défaut, le message sera envoyé immédiatement.

Format: Autodetect / HTML / Text . C'est le format du message que vous envoyez. Préférez soit 'Autodetect', soit 'Text'.

Use template : XXX

Message : ici vous mettez le texte de votre message. Il y a des codes propres à PHPLIST qui vous permettent de personnaliser le message: voir BalisesPHPlist. Il est conseillé de préparer votre message ailleurs, et de copier/coller le message dans cette fenêtre très étroite. Une fois votre message collé, vous n'avez plus besoin de le modifier: normalement, il apparaîtra comme vous l'aviez préparé.

Message footer : vous pouvez le modifier, mais pensez à toujours permettre aux gens de consulter leur dossier personnel. Le code PHPLIST pour accéder directement à son dossier personnel est: [PREFERENCES]. Voir aussi BalisesPHPlist.
