Item Picker
Item Picker is a powerful feature in JungleMail 365, allowing you to quickly select SharePoint items and populate your newsletter with item data. Just like Dynamic Content, this feature can be enabled in a single block or an entire content section.
Configuration example
In the example below, we will use Item Picker for a section.
1. Select the section that you want to try Item Picker on.
2. In the section properties window on the right, select the Dynamic tab, switch the Enable SharePoint content toggle to On, and select Add list / items.
3. In the pop-up window, browse to the SharePoint Online page with the content that you to include in your newsletter, and click OPEN.
4. Select the Item Picker content extraction method and pick the items you need. Once you select all of the items, select Pick Up.
5. Once you picked all the items you need, it is time to design the layout and specify the picked item data that will be used in the newsletter. Simply drag and drop the desired blocks to form the Section layout. In the example, we are using a 2-column layout with an Image block for the picture, a Title block to display our title of the news post, a Text block to display the news content, and a button to link back to the page.
6. Now we need to configure each Block so that it is connected to the corresponding SharePoint page library column for automated content generation. To do this, click on the Block you inserted and then, select the { Merge Tags } button.
For the Image block, we link to the Banner Image column and click Insert.
The configuration result:
7. Next, you want to configure the Title Block to display the article title. Select the Title Block, and click the { Merge Tags } button.
We want our Title block to show our article title, and the corresponding column in the Site Pages library is Title, so we select it and click Insert.
8. Finally, configure a Text Block to show our actual text content of the article. Select the Text Block and click { Merge Tags & Links }.
Then, browse and select the column you need to include as text content in your newsletter and click Insert. In our case, it is the Description column.For the button block, change the display text from the default, select the button block, and click the { Merge Tags } button in the menu on the right.
Insert the Item URL placeholder
This is how the Section looks after the configuration:
9. To preview the content itself, go to the Preview tab of the newsletter.
Remarks
If you want to edit the content in the email builder itself, click the round-arrows icon (Process Dynamic Section). Please note, however, that after using Process Dynamic Section, Dynamic Content becomes static. It means that you can edit this content as you like, but the Item Picker configuration is severed. If you save this template with the intention to use it later, keep in mind that it will not reflect any changes that may have occurred in the SharePoint items.
