Email Recs

Add product recommendations to your MailUp email campaigns. This guide walks you through creating email designs, setting up embeds, and inserting recommendations into your templates.

Before you start!

Make sure that you have done the initial integration on the webshop so that Clerk.io is synced with your product catalog and order history.

Create email design #

The first thing you have to do is create a Design for your emails.

You can create as many different designs as you want and each Design can be used across many different recommendations blocks.

1. In my.clerk.io backend, head to the menu on the left hand side. Click Email -> Designs.

2. Click New Design.

3. Select the design type, the type of content and Name the design. Then click Create Design.

4. Add to or modify your email design. Click Publish when you are happy with your design.

Create email embed #

Each type of Email recommendations should have its own Embed.

These Embeds control how many products to show, which logic to use, if any filters should apply, etc.

1. Go to Email.

2. Click Embeds and Add Email Embed and give it a name.

3. Give a Name to the email embed and Set the goals that you would like to accomplish with this Email embed, in order to choose the correct slider for your specific situation. After that, Create Embed.

4. The Product logic would be chosen depending on your goals, but you are always more than welcome to change it.

5. Select the Number of products you want to show and choose one of the designs you have created. Click Update Element to save your changes.

Get embed code #

1. Under Insert into email, choose MailUp as the E-mail Platform.

2. OPTIONAL: Depending on the Element Logic you have chosen, you might need to add extra data like keywords or a category ID.

3. Click Copy Embed Code To Clipboard on the Element page.

Embed recommendations #

1. In MailUp, go to Messages -> Email.

2. Choose Templates and find a template you want to use for your emails.

3. Drag a Code Block to the part of the template where you want recommendations to be shown.

4. In the Editor, click the </> HTML tab.

5. Insert the embedcode to the part of the template where you want it to be shown.

Tip: Using the browser to search for a headline that you want recommendations to be shown below can help you find the right place.
