Database E-Mailer 4.3

Major Benefits:

1. Supports Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Oracle, and other databases. The product lets you retrieve desired data from a variety of sources. In fact it supports any ODBC-compliant data source, such as Microsoft Access database, SQL Server or Oracle databases, or any other. If in doubt as to whether you can import your data into the program, feel free to contact us. The data is imported into the program using two simple steps.
   • First, you setup the data source (define the file path to the database, if it’s file-based, provide needed login information, etc.) by composing what’s called a connection string. You can then save that information in an encrypted format for future use by the program.
   • Secondly, you simply write SQL SELECT statement that will retrieve the desired records from your database. It could be as simple as SELECT * FROM Customers, or much more complex – you can use whatever your data source supports. If you do not know how to write SQL statements, do not worry, they are easy to learn and will benefit you greatly. 
2. Generates personalized messages dynamically. As was already mentioned the program uses placeholders that you insert in your e-mail message template to personalize e-mails it generates. Basically, once it has retrieved the data from your database, it will generate an e-mail for every record (row in a table), using your e-mail template, where it will replace all placeholders it finds with the data from that data record. So, for example, if in your template you include text "Dear firstname", where firstname is a placeholder, the program will replace it with the data taken from the column with the same name (in this case the column named "firstname"); and thus if the current record has "Michael" as the value for this column, the generated text will be "Dear Michael".
3. Ability to send HTML messages. You can send both text-only and HTML-based messages with this program. Additionally you can specify message and subject encodings such as UTF or ASCII, etc., as well as e-mail priority. What’s more is that you can also specify different values for to, CC, and BCC fields!
4. Work with attachments. The program also lets you to send attachments with your messages. This way you can send even more information to your prospective clients.
5. Supports several sending modes. The program supports two different sending modes: one that will send messages continually – as soon as the program had finished sending one message it will start sending the next one; and mode that will send messages every specified amount of time – like sending e-mail message every 5 seconds. The latter option is handy if your SMTP e-mail server has restrictions on the number of e-mails you can send within a given time interval.
6. Various e-mail and SMTP options. You can use as many e-mail accounts as you want in this product. All e-mail accounts that you register with the program can be saved in an encrypted form for better security. For each e-mail account you can specify regular setting like server address, login, and password, as well as some additional ones: outgoing port, SSL support, reply-to e-mail address, and some others. Please note, that currently only SMTP e-mail accounts are supported.
7. Ability to exclude certain e-mail addresses. The product also lets you to exclude certain e-mail addresses, so that e-mails will never be sent to them, even if they are present in the records retrieved by the program from your database. In fact you can specify permanently blocked e-mail addresses, as well as temporary. What’s more is that there is an option to prevent sending duplicate e-mails. This is useful if the same e-mail address appears more than once in the records retrieved by the program from your database.
