Connection settings

Maileon API Key

The API Key can be created and viewed in the Maileon account under "Settings" → "API Keys" and ensures the connection to the account. Common errors:

• Validity period exceeded

• Key was deactivated in Maileon

• Characters were truncated at the beginning or end

Synchronisation of subscribers

Enabled

Here you can enable/disable the synchronisation of Oxid eShop subscribers with Maileon.

Initial permission in Maileon

• None: No permission. The contact will not receive newsletters, only transaction emails (e.g. reservation confirmation mail).

• Single Opt-in: Permission was simply granted, e.g. by entering an email address in a form. This method technically allows the contact to receive newsletters, but does not ensure that the email address belongs to the person who entered it.

• Confirmed Opt-in: With the confirmed opt-in, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address after registering for the newsletter. However, this does not contain an additional confirmation link as with the double opt-in, the newsletter registration is valid immediately.

• Double Opt-in: With this permission, a confirmation email with a confirmation link is sent to the email address. Only when the link in the mail has been clicked and thus the interest in the entry has been confirmed, the contact can be sent.

• Double Opt-in Plus: Double opt-in including consent for single user tracking. Please note: Without individual user tracking, no openings, clicks, etc. may be traced back to individual users and significant data for evaluating newsletter performance is missing.

• Other: If no permission can be proven, the "Other procedure" method can be selected. However, this is expressly not recommended. Permission must always be proven.

DOI process enabled

If we enable the DOI process, then when the contact is created a confirmation email will be sent to the email address with a confirmation link, which if the contact clicks on will give them Double Opt-In Plus access to Maileon, regardless of what we have set in the above setting. If this option is not turned on, the contact will receive the permission set above instantly, without any confirmation.

DOI mailing id

Here you can enter a DOI mailing ID, which determines which DOI mailing should be triggered as soon as a contact subscribes to the newsletter. The identifier can be set in Maileon or retrieved from the corresponding DOI mailing in the default settings. If the Maileon account has a default DOI mailing set in the settings, this field does not need to be filled in. Common mistake:

• The DOI process above will be enabled but the DOI key is not specified here and no default DOI mailing is set in the Maileon account.

Webhook token for DOI confirmation and unsubscription

We will use webhooks from Maileon to synchronise DOI confirmers and unsubscribers back. These webhooks need to be set up in Maileon, to set them up you need to enter this token. The token can be any text that does not contain spaces.

Initial synchronisation

Enabled

Initial synchronisation allows you to create subscribers in Maileon that were created before using the plugin. It is sufficient to run this once when you start using the plugin, after that the subscribers will be synchronized automatically. You can enable synchronisation here, see below for more information on running synchronisation.

Permission if imported contacts

You can set the permission for contacts to be created during import. This is a final permission, the DOI process will not run.

• None: No permission. The contact will not receive newsletters, only transaction emails (e.g. reservation confirmation mail).

• Single Opt-in: Permission was simply granted, e.g. by entering an email address in a form. This method technically allows the contact to receive newsletters, but does not ensure that the email address belongs to the person who entered it.

• Confirmed Opt-in: With the confirmed opt-in, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address after registering for the newsletter. However, this does not contain an additional confirmation link as with the double opt-in, the newsletter registration is valid immediately.

• Double Opt-in: With this permission, a confirmation email with a confirmation link is sent to the email address. Only when the link in the mail has been clicked and thus the interest in the entry has been confirmed, the contact can be sent.

• Double Opt-in Plus: Double opt-in including consent for single user tracking. Please note: Without individual user tracking, no openings, clicks, etc. may be traced back to individual users and significant data for evaluating newsletter performance is missing. newsletter performance is missing.

• Other: If no permission can be proven, the "Other procedure" method can be selected. However, this is expressly not recommended. Permission must always be proven.

After how many minutes a shopping cart should be reminded

DOI process

If you disable the DOI process in the plugin, you should also disable it in the shop, otherwise it may lead to different functionality and vice versa if you enable the DOI process in the plugin, you should also enable it in the shop.
