You can also use this plugin to automatically include your newly created (or modified) properties in an Auto-newsletter.
You can search in all your JEA properties and then click on one of the properties to include it in your Newsletter.
If you purchased at least one paid version of AcyMailing, you can download the JEA plugin on our plugins section then install and publish it like a standard Joomla plugin.

You can change the styles used for the title and the content area by editing your AcyMailing template.
Edit the AcyMailing template used for your Newsletter and then set some styles:
Style for the content area will be used to encompass your property
Style for the content title will be applied to your property title
Style for the read more link will be applied to your read more link (if you have one)
You can also set the style of all your links using the Link a field
Set styles template
You can also modify the way your JEA property is displayed by creating your own template which will be used to render the property. Please follow those instructions, we don't recommend you to modify the JEA plugin directly otherwise your changes will be overwritten when you update the plugin.
Create a file in the the folder media / com_acymailing / plugins (if the folder does not exist, please create it first). The name of the file should be jea.php If this file is available on your server, AcyMailing will use it and won't use the default one.
On this file you can access the element $varFields (which contains all the product information), the element $tag (which contains the information of the current tag used in your Newsletter) and $link (the product link)
You can insert the product information using this simple syntax : {title}, {description}, or {link}
Using all those variables, you can create your own product template.
Here is an example:
