General Information Preferences
The General Information section allows you to set the Institutional sender information required for emails to be delivered and compliant with CAN-SPAM.
Contact Name: Name (i.e., University of North Texas, UNT Admissions, etc.).Contact Address Fields (Address 1, Address 2, City, State, Postal Code): Physical address that you'd like to appear in the email footer.From Vanity: Name that you want to appear in the recipient's inbox (i.e., University of North Texas, UNT Admissions, Eagle Mail, etc.)From Email: The email address from which these messages come.Reply Vanity: Name that you want to appear in the recipient's "To" field if/when they reply to an email.Reply Email: The email account to which you want direct replies.Subscribe Redirect URL: The page to which the respondent should go if they indicate they wish to be Subscribed (via clicking the hyperlink in an email).Unsubscribe Redirect URL: The page to which the respondent should go if they indicate they wish to be Un subscribed (via clicking the hyperlink in an email).
Merge Defaults
The Merge Defaults are used for greeting merge fields if no value is present. For example, if a record doesn't have a First Name, the email would come across as "Hello ," (with a space where the merge should be) if this setting is not configured.
Note: This is not a required preference.
Default First Name: Value that you want to appear if a record is missing a first name (i.e. "Future UNT Eagle")
Header and Footer Defaults
Email Header Defaults
The Header Defaults allow you to select whether to include the Sender Header. The Header Default should be enabled to ensure the deliverability of your messages.
Email Footer Defaults
The Footer Defaults determine if these options are to be included in the footer of your email by default.
Include Contact Address: This will activate the sender contact info that you specified above to show in the footer of each email.Include Profile Update Link: This will trigger a link (in the footer) for recipients to update basic profile information (name, etc.). This cannot be customized.The link for Profile Update will direct the user to the Update Profile page.
Default Settings
The Email Defaults serve as defaults for individual email campaign settings. You can change these settings when creating Email Campaigns:
URL Tracking On: This will enable tracking of URL's provided in the email message. This would be a Yes or No preference.When URL Tracking is ON , hyperlinks need to be formatted as follows in order for display text to appear correctly:
<a href="https: //www. targetx. com">Click Here</a> and <a href="https: //www. targetx. com"><span>Click Here</span></a>
Note: The statistics in Campaigns and Broadcasts will display the URL being tracked when a recipient clicks. The format of how the URL is represented in the stats will depend on how the link was constructed. The examples below are specifically for links generated by merge fields:
In the email template, if the HTML looks like this: <a href="{!Contact. URL__c}">Link</a>. URL__c} = https: //www. targetx. com
With this format, it causes a return of http in the interaction stats on the Campaign and Broadcast; even though the URL merge data is using https.
If the HTML looks like this: <a href="https: //{!Contact. URL__c}">Link</a>. URL__c} = www. targetx. com
This will render the link with https in the Campaign and Broadcast stats.
Send Campaign Only Once: When enabled, if an email campaign has multiple broadcasts (or blasts), a recipient will only receive one email from the campaign even if they are in the report or meet the criteria more than once. This would be a "yes or no" preference.Allow Multiple Email for One Recipient: When enabled, a single recipient can receive multiple instances of the same email in a single broadcast. (Use case: For an email campaign reminding students about upcoming events, and a student is signed up for two events in one week, you would likely want them to get an email reminder of both events.) This would be a "yes or no" preference.
Advanced Preferences
The Advanced Preferences include settings for things like retaining email history, statistics, email groups, broadcast deletion, and enabling Content Blocks.
Retained Email History (days): This determines how many days email broadcast member data remains in the CRM before being deleted. Our recommendation is anywhere between 30 and 45 days.[DEPRECATED] Run As Specified User, Not Admin (This setting is no longer available.)Email Statistics Counter enables the Email Statistics Counter trigger. For more information, please see: How to Manage Email Campaign Statistics on Campaign and Broadcast Level. Enable email groups enable Email Opt-In Groups. For more information, please see: Managing and Configuring Email Groups .Auto Future Broadcast Deletion enabling this setting will delete any broadcasts scheduled in the future for a campaign. Use this feature when you need to stop a campaign from sending any additional broadcasts. For more information, please see Deleting Email Broadcasts scheduled in the future .Enable Merged Content Blocks enables Dynamic Content features. Note: This is only needed if you are using the Legacy UI.

Enhanced Domains: Email Template URL Update
You need to run a process to scan existing Email Templates to identify all occurrences where old URLs are used, for both Salesforce Classic Email Templates and TX Email Templates that have URLs. If you've coded entire email templates or sections and have included HTML-encoded characters in the domain portions of your URLs, you will need to double-check the URLs manually following the Salesforce guidelines for URL format changes. See TargetX Enhanced Domains for TargetX Tools video [10:05, 20:10]
If you do NOT have the Email package, go to Email Template update for Institutions that do NOT use the TargetX Email package .

Notes:
We have successfully tested the audit/update tool with approximately 10,000 Salesforce URLs in Email Templates.
These audits and updates must be run by a System Administrator as they need access to all the objects impacted.
This process could take several hours to run. You can check the job status by navigating to Setup and searching for Apex Jobs.
This tool can be run in “audit” mode regardless of whether Enhanced Domains is enabled. You can run the audit scan before enabling Enhanced Domains. You can only Perform Updates if Enhanced Domains is enabled.
Navigate to Email Preferences .
Locate the Enhanced Domains: Email Template URL Update section.
You should first audit the Email Templates to review which URLs will be updated:
Verify the Email Address to Notify and click Scan Email Template URLs .
The email address specified will receive CSV files with details on URLs that will be updated.
TXEmailBuilderTemplate: This file shows what URLs are affected in your XBuilder templates. Rows in the file with Location = “Configuration” can be filtered out; they represent other places XBuilder URLs are stored in your org and are only relevant if there are errors when you perform the updates.SalesforceEmailTemplate: This is relevant ONLY for email templates built within Classic Email Templates. For example, templates built for Salesforce workflow alertsLegacyEmailContentBlock: This is relevant for conditional content blocks built in the legacy email builder.The Status will be listed as Found.
If nothing is found for the update, the email will read, “Your Email Templates do not contain any URLs that need conversion for Enhanced Domains.”
Review the list and, if correct, proceed to perform the updates:
Verify the Email Address to Notify, check the box Perform Updates checkbox and then click Scan Email Template URLs .
If the checkbox to Perform Updates is disabled, you have not enabled Enhanced Domains.
The email address specified will receive an email with a CSV file of any/all Email Template URLs that were updated.
The Status will be listed as Updated.
If nothing is found for the update, the email will read, “Your Email Templates do not contain any URLs that need conversion for Enhanced Domains.”
The Batch Size should only be done
Note: If the process encounters an error, the email report will list a Status of Error, and the Message column will provide details on the error.
