Explanation of the individual tabs in the top menu bar
Once you have selected a database, you can configure it. Use the tabs shown above to make the desired settings.
Data
The data collected in the database you created is displayed here. All your recipients are listed here. You can edit individual records and view their activities and the emails sent to date.
Automations
In this tab, you can use the Workflow Builder to create automated processes and customer journeys.
Settings
Here you will find all preconfigured and user-defined list fields that are to be stored in the database. You cannot delete or edit the preconfigured fields. If necessary, create user-defined list fields for additional settings options.
💡 It is advisable to create all desired list fields before filling the database.
The following settings can also be edited:
List name: Name of the database
Active: Sets the entire database to active or inactive. If the database is inactive, actions and campaigns are deactivated.
Allow public creation: Select whether a data record may be created externally, for example by your users.
Allow public updates: Select whether the data may be edited externally, for example by your users.
Allow public reading: Select whether the data may be read externally, for example by your users.💡 For email contact databases, public reading of the entire database is always prohibited. Here, it is only possible to read a specific entry via the ID.
Update existing entries: If this option is enabled, users can re-enter the database and the existing entry will be updated. If this option is disabled, the user will receive an error message stating that, for example, their email address already exists.
Related data label field: Determines which field is used for the label in Related Data. In forms, this field is also used to determine the display name for automatically generated dropdowns/selects.
Unique field: Determines which field in the database is used for indexing within the database. This field must be unique. The "Change" button changes the unique field and restarts the indexing. This process may take a little longer for large databases.List entry limit: Set a limit on the number of entries within this database.
Field list limit: Specify which field should be used for limiting.
API
Here you will find the documentation for our database API. You also have the option of trying out the endpoints interactively so that you can integrate them more efficiently into your application.
For each endpoint, you will find a button on the right where you can edit the request and test it with the Send button. The server response is displayed in the Response text field in JSON format.
IMAP Inbox
In the IMAP inbox, you will find the responses as well as the soft and hard bounces for the respective email contact database.
The IMAP inbox will only work once you add an IMAP domain for the specific sending address in the administration section.
💡 This is particularly relevant for cover letters, as they provide an opportunity to establish personal contact following an automated email.
Set up IMAP domain
To enable the receipt of replies and bounces, please follow these steps:
Navigate to Administration in the left sidebar.
Select IMAP Domains in the top menu bar.
Click on the Add button.
Now enter the data for your IMAP domain and then click Save.
You can now see your inbox in the respective email database.
