limit : This parameter enables you to specify the number of users you want to show. By default this parameter is set to 50 so only the last 50 users will be displayed by you can modify it to display more or less users.

listid : This parameter enables you to display only users subscribed to the specified list. For example : {acymailing:users|listid:3} will display the last 50 users subscribed to your list ID 3.
header : This parameter will enable you to show a table header with the name of each field For example {acymailing:users|header} will display the name of the last 50 users inserted in AcyMailing with the header "name" on top of the column.
width : This parameter enables you to set the width of each column. For example {acymailing:users|width:70} will force the columns to be 70px width.

Insert newsletters in your Joomla articles
Specific newsletter
If you want to insert a specific newsletter, you'll have to first get its ID. You can find it in Components => AcyMailing => Newsletters (or Smart-Newsletters) :
Then when editing a Joomla article, insert the tag {acy:NEWSLETTER_ID}, for example:
Latest newsletter
You can choose to insert the latest sent newsletter using "0" instead of the newsletter ID, so this tag: {acy:0}. Note that it will only take a published and visible newsletter.
You can also add a filter so that it will take the latest newsletter sent to a specific list. You can get the list ID in the page Components => AcyMailing => Lists :
For example with the list "Newsletters", your tag will be {acy:0|list:1}
