Normal
The <normal>
element is where you enter the user database filter identifier for the delivery, if you have decided to use this option.
The <normal>
element is:
- A child of the Filter section and you can use Use
<normal>
,<test>
or both - Positioned within the
<filter>
section of the XML instructions file, after the<test>
filter element, if used
If no<test>
element is used, the<normal>
element is the first entry within the<filter>
section.
Use
If you use the New_recipients section, any <normal>
filter element is ignored. The delivery is sent to the recipients listed in the Recipient element, or the appropriate CSV file. See Filtering and added recipients for more details.
0 special value
If you set the the <normal>
element to the special value of zero (0), the delivery is sent to all recipients in your user database, with only the base filter applied.
Caution:
We recommend that you never to use <0>
, because it is potentially dangerous. If you want to send a delivery to the whole database, you should create a filter that selects all recipients. This prevents changes to the base filter affecting your deliveries. We may remove support for the <0>
value in the future.
Example:
<filter>
<normal>1</normal>
</filter>
