The AcyMailing add-on for Business Directory enables you to insert listings inside your emails, either individually or by category.

Format: AcyMailing offers multiple default formats, for example the title, then the main picture and the description around it. Choose which one you prefer, or create your own one in the add-on's settings (it will require basic HTML knowledge).
Custom fields: Select the custom fields that will be shown below the inserted listings. They follow the Business Directory fields' ordering.

Min. number of elements: If no new listing has been published on your site, no email will be sent and AcyMailing will wait for the next generation date (instead of sending an empty email).
