Print PURL

In isave.DIALOG you can create personalized landing pages which the recipient can visit via a personalized URL to the page. This is called Print PURL because you can use it as a merge value within isave.DIALOG print templates, allowing them to read and write in a browser as opposed to our common PURL links we use from isave.eDM which is often a very long and “unreadable” URL.

To set up a print template with isave.PrintPURL

Start by registering your domain eg. Helloisave.com

Tip: If you’d like to see what wondering domain names are available visit a domain and web hosting site such as www.123-reg.co.uk and register the name there.

Setting up DNS records

1 Post a CNAME record of type *. domainname.com pointing to your domain.

Eg. *. Helloisave.com => helloisave.com

2 Post an A record for its isave.DIALOG Print PURL generator: 62.148.58.68

Eg. Helloisave.com => 62.148.58.68
