This article provides you information on the Email Archive feature and gives instructions how to create any number of standard or customised email archives.
To check the archived emails go to the Content menu and select Email Archive.
About Email archive
Email archive is defined as a custom list of emails. Email Archives come as a link which you can embed in your website or other emails.
Do: You can only archive batch email campaigns.
Do not: Triggered Emails and other external event-based campaigns are not available for archiving.
Data protection
For email archiving, each email account has a designated dummy contact assigned, which will automatically be addressed in the archived email (e.g.: "Dear Mr John Doe"). This guarantees the protection of your customer data.

Filter options
Filter the list with the following options:
-

Creating an email archive
Once you have defined your customized email archive in the Settings section you can create an archive (i.e. a list of emails), as follows:
- In the list, go to the Auto-archive column and activate all emails you want to include in the archive by clicking the eye icon.
