Send Marketing Emails
You can send out marketing emails to let Wix users know about new features and more.
Best practices
- Make sure the email has an unsubscribe option.
- Make it clear from your email that it’s from your company, and not from Wix.
- Add a link to your app in the App Market
www.wix.com/app-market/your-app-slug, or create a direct link so that users can open your app in one of the their Wix sites. - Alternatively, if you want to direct users to a landing page make sure this page has a CTA that links to your app in Wix.
- Use an email tracking service so that you can get stats about email performance.
Here’s an example:
Set up a direct link to your app
When sending marketing emails you need to direct users to open your app in one of their Wix sites (not your own website). You will need to construct a URL to open the Wix Site Selector, so that users can choose which of their sites to open your app in. Once users select a site, they’ll be directed to your app in that site.
To open the site selector you will encode the value of your app's iframe URL within the editor or internal dashboard. You will add this value at the end of the following URL: https://manage.wix.com/my-account/site-selector/?title=Select One of Your Sites&buttonText=Open App&actionUrl=<encoded iframe URL>
Here’s how to construct and encode the iframe URL to get the actionUrl:
- Go to the Wix Dev Center and get your App ID.
- Construct the iframe URL:
- Website components: Replace
appIDwith your app’s ID in the following URL:https://editor.wix.com/html/editor/web/renderer/edit/{{applications.HtmlWeb.idInApp}}?metaSiteId={{metaSiteId}}&editorSessionId={{esi}}&etpa=<appID> - Dashboard components: Replace
appIDwith your app’s ID in the following URL:https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{{metaSiteId}}/app/<appID>/<appID>?<appState>
- Website components: Replace
- Add the encoded iframe URL:
- Encode this iframe URL with a URL encoding tool (like this one). The encoded URL is the value for the actionURL key.
- Enter the encoded URL as the actionURL key in the site selector URL above.
