Settings

The Settings page shows your account data and allows configuring all the settings required by Marketing Automation.

Account Tab

Your Account

The Account pane shows your Vine account data and allows you to change your password. It is recommended to change the password after the first login.

(Your account data is taken from your registration request and you currently cannot change it in the Marketing Automation. For now, you can change your account data only in Vine CRM if you are a Vine CRM user.)

Click Copy to add your organization ID to the clipboard.

Package

The Package pane lists usage data your invoice will be based on. Click Calculate to get the data:

If needed you can change your Marketing Automation plan:

The monthly price will be calculated according to the plan you have selected at the end of the month, but Vine will additionally charge for extra data you used in this month above the currently selected plan. In general, to optimize the costs, it is recommended to have a plan just covering all the data you have used this month.

Please note that once you select a new plan you cannot go back to the initial MA Start Package.

Invoicing

In the Invoicing panel you need to enter data required by Vine to send invoices to you.

Demo data

In the Demo Data pane you can add (and remove later) demo data which you can try the tool with until you have your own data.

Note: Please remember to remove demo data before you start any real use of Marketing Automation.

Unused Persons

Click Delete Unused Persons if you want to clean your database from persons who have not been used for more than a year (persons who have not been changed in Vine, and no email sent to, and no event connected) excluding persons from the Unsubscribed list, Contacts of all users, and employees of customers.

Click Calculate to get the data.

Click Export Unused Persons to Excel if you want first to examine persons to be deleted.

GDPR - Delete Person

Forgetting Person

In the GDPR - Delete Person pane (available only for users with the Admin role), you can completely remove all the data on a person ( for example, if you have received a Data Erasure request) in your database.

Enter a person's name and click Find.
In the list of found persons click the one you want to remove.
Select Confirm the delete and then click Delete.

Allowing Forgotten Person

If you need to allow using a "forgotten" person (person whose data you have removed from Vine), you can do it using the person's email address or phone number.

To allow a previously forgotten person:

Enter the person's email address or phone number in the bottom Find edit box and click Find:

If the person is forgotten then you will see the following dialog:

Click OK to allow using that person again.

Please note that Vine does not keep any data on forgotten persons. Instead, Vine prevents adding forgotten persons again by storing their emails and/or phone numbers as hash values (numerical codes uniquely identifying data, but without possibility to decode data). So when you ask to allow a person by entering an email or phone, Vine generates a hash value from it, compares to hash values of forgotten persons, and allows the person if it finds a matching hash value.

Address Service Tab

Address Service

On the Address Service pane you can configure loading from Address Service .

Select the email list where you want to add persons loaded using the Address Service:

Please note that this will be the list which you will have to open to use the Load from Address Service command.

When you use the Load From Address Service page, you will define criteria for companies and connected persons you want to load. Use the options in the next list to additionally specify if you want to get only persons with email addresses:

Select Load all persons if you want to load all found persons regardless if they have email address or not. (This is recommended if you are also a user of Vine CRM)
Select Load persons with email or email can be generated if you want to load all found persons with email address or Vine can generate email addresses. In this case all loaded persons will have an email address, either original or generated by Vine.
Select Load persons with email if you want to only load persons which have email addresses in the Address Service database.

When you load companies and persons from the Address Service you can additionally want to load all employees of loaded companies even if those persons do not match your criteria. For this you need to select Load all persons from companies. Otherwise, if you only want to load companies and persons matching your criteria then make sure it is cleared.

Please also note that if Load all persons from companies is selected then new persons can be added to the target group also during nightly database updates.

Select Find employer using domain from email of person if you want to try to detect employer companies for persons not present in Address Service. Vine will use the domain part of the email address of a person not in Address Service and try to find a company in Address Service with the email address having the same domain part.

Select Also match persons using only email, if you want Vine also to try to match new persons in your database to persons in Address Service only by person email. If emails of persons match, then missing data in Vine (for example, no employer company) will be copied from the Address Service to Vine.

Click Set Suggested Settings if you want to select options recommended by Vine.

Address Service Nightly Updates

All companies and persons in your database will be matched at night to Address Service data. Matching companies and persons will be updated in your database to be the exact copies of the ones in the Address Service.

If a person has been removed from the Address Service then an event about this will be connected to the person.

Please note that for a matching company its all new employees will be also loaded to the database if Load all persons from companies is selected. In addition, employer companies of these new persons will be loaded and so on until there is nothing to load. This may affect you invoice so select Load all persons from companies with caution.

Web Site Tab

Tracking

The Tracking pane includes data required for Vine tracking of your web pages:

If you created your site using WordPress or Joomla then you can add Vine tracking and Vine web forms to all your web pages using the WordPress Vine plug-in or Joomla Vine plug-in, respectively.

For all other systems, select Other and then copy the given script and insert it to the HEAD or BODY of all web pages you want to track

Verify Tracking

Use the address of your web site to check if the script is installed correctly. You need to have opened at least one page at your site in the last 48 hours for this check to work. In addition, you can check individual pages by entering their full web addresses.
Please note that a warning banner will be shown when there is no visits to your tracked web pages in the last 48 hours:

Tracked Domains

In a future version of Vine Marketing Automation, Vine will limit tracking only to domains specified by you. You will no longer need to worry about some pages on the internet spoiling your statistics by copying the tracking code from legitimate pages in your domains.

To prepare for this, please use the Tracked Domains pane to list domains you want Vine to track:

Conditional Content

You can use the following CSS classes to implement simple conditional content in your web pages.

Use the OnlyAnonymous CSS class to show page elements to only unknown site visitors and the OnlyIdentified class to show page elements to only identified visitors.

Please note that it is recommended to mark the element hidden by default. Otherwise, it will be visible for a brief moment before the identity of the visitor is checked.

For instance, you can show a registration form to a new visitor and offer a link to a special custom landing page to a known person :

Copy

 <a href="https://vine.eu/ext/land/1300357856/1547643138/" target="_blank">Click here for your personal offer</a>
</div>

You can implement much more complicated cases of conditional content using Java Script functions described in the Vine Developer's Guide.

Page Score Settings

You can set a page score for each page type:

Setting Points Decrement Settings

A person’s lead score goes up after each page visit but you can configure for the score to go down if a person has not been visiting any pages for some time:

Set the lead score decrement value in percentages in the Decrement % field and set the inactivity time in weeks after which you want to apply this decrement in the Decrement time in weeks field.

Filtering pages and parameters

Use the following settings to skip or filter tracking:

Do not track these pages - here you can specify pages which you do not want to be tracked.
Filter these parameters - here you can specify which URL parameter values you want to be removed from page URLs.

Configuring Customer Web Settings

Using the Customer Web Settings panel you can edit Customer Web pages.

Click Select Logo File to choose an image that will be displayed at your customer web pages. All popular image formats are supported.

The selected image will be scaled to 100% of the header height. The image width will be scaled appropriately. You can change the height of the image in Customer Web CSS styles , for example as follows:

To remove the logo image, click Remove Logo File. The Vine logo will be shown by default if there is no your own logo file.

Click Style Wizard to adjust styles for your Customer Web pages

Select Wizard if you want to change CSS styles using visual editing elements.
Or select CSS if you want to edit CSS styles directly.

To see your style changes applied in preview, click Refresh Preview:

Click Default to revert to the regular settings set by Vine and close the Settings dialog.
Click Apply to save your settings and close the Settings dialog.
Click Cancel to close the Settings dialog without saving your settings.

Cookie Consent

In the Cookie Consent pane you can design your own cookie consent banners or pop-ups by selecting a layout from several WYSIWYG templates, and adding your own texts in as many languages as you like.

Using Vine Cookies with Third Party Consent Dialog or No Consent

Select the first image to allow cookies without user consent

To comply with the European GDPR law, select Requires VineTrack.allowCookies call before using cookies so that the Vine cookies can not be saved until you call VineTrack.allowCookies(); in your JavaScript code in each page load.

You should select this setting, if you want to have your own or third party cookie consent dialog and allow Vine cookies only after the user accepts cookies in your dialog.

You can call VineTrack.denyCookies(); to remove user consent if it was given earlier.

For example, here is how you can integrate Vine cookies to be used with Osano consent dialog (in its simplest compliance type: “Just tell users that we use cookies”):

Copy

Integrating Vine Cookies with Osano Consent Dialog

<script>
window.cookieconsent.initialise({
  "palette": {
    "popup": {
      "background": "#000"
    },
    "button": {
      "background": "#f1d600"
    }
  },
  "position": "top",
  
onStatusChange: function(status) {
     console.log(this.hasConsented() ?
      'enable cookies' : 'disable cookies');
     if (this.hasConsented())
       VineTrack.allowCookies();
     else
       VineTrack.denyCookies();
    },
});
</script>

Using Google Tag Manager

If you are using Google Tag Manager then you can create a tag that will run the Vine script to allow cookies and you need a trigger to fire that tag when the visitor accepts cookies.

One easy way to fire the tag is to send a GTM event to signal that the visitor accepted cookies. For example with Osano you can do this as follows using the Osano Cookie Consent JavaScript API :

Copy

Sending GTM event to integrate Vine Cookies with Osano consent dialog

<script>
window.cookieconsent.initialise({
  "palette": {
    "popup": {
      "background": "#000"
    },
    "button": {
      "background": "#f1d600"
    }
  },
  "position": "top",
//Using Osano callback hooks onStatusChange & onInitialise
//to send GTM event
onStatusChange: function(status) {
     console.log(this.hasConsented() ?
      'enable cookies' : 'disable cookies');
     if (this.hasConsented())
       { window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
     window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'cookie_consent'}); }
     else
       VineTrack.denyCookies();
    },
onInitialise: function(status) {
if (status == 'allow' || status == 'dismiss') 
  { window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
    window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'cookie_consent'}); }
}
});
</script>

Now we need to tell GTM to listen to the 'cookie_consent' event and allow cookies when receiving event.

In GTM, create a new trigger as follows:

Call it “Vine cookie_consent"
Select Custom Event as the trigger type
Select the trigger to fire on All Custom Events
Enter ‘cookie_consent’ as the event name

Your trigger should look as follows:

Click Save to create the trigger.

Please note that there are other possible types of triggers to be used in GTM. For example, you can use a trigger based on the Accept button click classes (which you can find inspecting the Accept button in the browser)

In Google Tag Manager, create a new Custom HTML tag:

Give it a name: “call allowCookies on GTM event”
Select Custom HTML as the tag type
Copy the following script into the HTML box :

Copy

GTM Script to allow Vine cookies

<script src="https://vine.eu/track/allowCookies.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Select the Vine cookie_consent trigger as a firing trigger so this tag fires on receiving the "cookie_consent" event.

Your tag should look as follows:

Save and publish in GTM.

Using Vine Cookies with Vine Consent Dialog

Select a layout you want to have for your cookie consent dialog:

(Not recommended). Clear Redirect visitor out from site on deny if you want the visitor to be able to continue with the site even when denying cookies. Please note that in that case it makes sense to change the default text of the "Deny/Exit" button
(Not recommended). Clear Require consent before continuing to the site if you want to enable the site pages regardless if the visitor accepts or not the cookies. Clearing this will remove the "Deny cookies" button:

Click the language tab to change settings for that language. To add a langauge, click the plus and enter the HTML "lang" attribute of the language you want to add. Then change the settings for the selected dialog:

Edit the Headline text field if you want to change the text in the Cookie Consent notice.
Edit the Accept button text field to change the name of the button to be clicked to allow cookies.
Edit the Deny/Exit button text field (if it is available) to change the name of the button to be clicked to deny cookies.
Edit the Cookie policy link text to change the name of the link which open a page where your cookie and privacy policy is described in more detail
Edit the Cookie policy link if you want to use your own policy page and not the one suggested and generated by Vine for you:

Click the Exit or Accept button to close the preview dialog.

Integrating Third Party Tracking Cookies

If you are using not only Vine tracking then to comply with the GDPR law you need to prevent third party tracking scripts to be loaded until the user clicks Accept in Vine consent dialog:

If you are using Google Tag Manager then you should configure a tag that will load the third party scripts (like Google Analytics) on the cookie_consent event that is sent by Vine when the user clicks Accept.

For example, here is how you can load GA tracking when the visitor clicks Accept:

In Google Tag Manager, create a new tag:

Give it a name: “Load GA on Vine consent”
Select Google Analytics: Universal Analytics as the tag type.
Select, for example, Page View as the Track Type.
Select or create a new Google Analytics Settings Variable.
Click Triggering and select "Vine cookie_consent" as a trigger that will make the tag fire.

Your tag should look as follows:

Save and publish in GTM.

If you are not using Google Tag Manager, then you need to create a function that will be called after the visitor clicks Accept in Vine Consent Dialog (and after a page loads with cookies accepted). This function has to be passed to VineCookieConsentHandlers as follows:

Copy

Integrating 3rd Party Tracking with Vine Consent

<script >

function VineConsentGiven(){
//do what is needed after user accepted cookies in Vine Consent dialog

  console.log( 'cookie consent given' );
  
return;
}

</script>

<script>

    window.VineCookieConsentHandlers = window.VineCookieConsentHandlers || [];
    window.VineCookieConsentHandlers.push( VineConsentGiven );

</script>

Vine Cookies & Conditional Content using GTM

Often you'd want to allow some content only in a subset of your web pages and only after the visitor accepts cookies.

For example, let's say you want to add the toolbar with sticky share buttons provided by sharethis.com only to blog pages of your site and only if the visitor has already accepted cookies.

To achieve this, you will need a new GTM tag that will load the toolbar only when the following two conditions are true at the same time :

The visitor accepted Vine cookies. That means that the Vine cookie_consent trigger has already fired.
The visitor is in a blog page. For this we will need a new Blog Trigger that will fire when a blog page is opened.

Here is how you can do this:

To "mark" all pages where you want the toolbar to appear, you can add the following script to all blog pages so that they send a "blog" GTM event when opened:

Copy

Sending GTM Event for Subset of Pages

<script>
 window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
    window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'blog'});
</script>

Create a GTM "Blog" trigger as follows.

It will fire when the visitor opens a blog page which sends the "blog" event:

To verify that both triggers fired, create a GTM group trigger as follows:

This group trigger will fire only after both included triggers have fired.

Create a GTM tag as follows using the script provided by sharethis.com

This tag will load the ShareThis toolbar only when both triggers have fired which means that the visitor has already accepted cookies and opened a blog page:

Test cookies

Use the Test cookies tool to check cookies on any site for GDPR compliance. If the tool reports cookies set without user permission then you need to verify if those are marketing tracking cookies, which are not allowed; or if they are cookies required for the web site operation, which are acceptable.

Email Tab

Configuring Email Domain

You can use the Email domain pane in the Email tab of Settings to verify the required configuration of your domain where you intend to send your emails from.

To configure a domain you want to send emails from:

Note: By default, you can send emails only from one domain. Please contact Vine support if you want to add more domains.

Enter the domain in the Domain field and click Confirm.

In the Send confirmation email dialog enter the name of a mail box in this domain which you own.

Click OK and go to the email box you just entered where you should find the following email:

Click the link in the email. You should see the following page open in your browser:

That means that your domain has been confirmed and you can now send emails from it. Click OK.

Please note that if anything goes wrong during confirmation you should click Cancel Confirmation and contact Vine support.

Replacing Configured Domain

If you want to replace the current domain with another one please click to remove the confirmed domain first and then configure a new one.

About SPF, DKIM and DMARC Settings

Your emails should pass both the SPF and DKIM tests, as many email servers check SPF and DKIM values to decide if they can trust your emails or not. That is why Vine does not allow sending emails with improperly set or absent SPF and DKIM values.

Note: If your domain is confirmed but you have no valid SPF and DKIM values then Vine will send your emails on behalf of you. Your recipients will receive emails from "noreply@vine.eu on behalf of <your address>"

A proper SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record prevents someone else sending an email as if it is sent by you. Basically, SPF lists internet addresses (IP addresses) which you allow to send emails from you (your domain). When using Vine MA you need to allow Vine servers to send emails from your name. You do not need to know the IP addresses of Vine email servers, we have prepared a reference which includes all the needed data and you just need to add this reference include: spf.protection.vine.eu to the SPF record in the zone file of your domain. If you do not yet have an SPF record there you need to create one.
Please ask your domain administrator to insert the include: spf.protection.vine.eu reference. For example like this :

Copy

SPF Record

"v=spf1 ... include:spf.protection.vine.eu ~all"

with "~all" here you are basically saying that most emails from you will come from the listed servers, but some valid emails can come from other servers. This is especially important, if your email campaigns target companies who use email forwarding services.

Note: That is why we strongly recommend to never use "-all" if you want your email campaigns to reach most of your targets.

DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) signature is used to sign your email so that a receiving email server could verify that the email is from you. Vine will sign your emails for your domain but the DKIM signature will be valid only if you explicitly trust the Vine key to be valid for your domain. For this you need to add the following reference to your domain's zone file:

Copy

DKIM Record

vine._domainkey.your.domain.  CNAME   dkim.vine.eu.

Your need to replace "your.domain." with your own domain address.

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is a DNS record that helps email receiving servers to, first, verify emails that appear to come from your domain and then decide what to do with the ones failing the checks. To make sure your emails pass a DMARC check, you need to have valid SPF & DKIM records and to have the branded domains set up properly.
DMARC is currently a recommended setting that will improve your spam score for receiving servers, especially the big ones as Microsoft and Google whose Office 365 and Gmail services have already announced that they will verify DMARC records. We recommend to start from a simple DMARC record such as

Copy

DMARC Record

v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com; ruf=mailto:dmarc-forensic@yourdomain.com

So that you can carefully monitor and investigate reports to decide on the best DMARC policy for you.

Branded Email Links and Bounce Addresses

To improve the spam rating of your emails even further, you can configure subdomains of your confirmed domain to change Vine associated links to those associated with your brand.

For example, a link “https://VINE.EU/ext/event?...” can be replaced with “https://LINK.ACME.TEST/ext/event?...”

First you need to choose a domain which you want to use in email links and bounce address. Only confirmed domains can be used for this.

Please select a domain from the following list of confirmed ones:

Enter a subdomain to be used for branded bounce address and then add a corresponding DNS CNAME entry to the zone file of the selected domain.

For example, if you enter "sender" as a subdomain for the bounce address then the help prompt will show that you need to add the following CNAME record:

Copy

Bounce CNAME Record

sender.vineyard.ru.    3600    IN    CNAME    vinemail.vine.eu.

After you have added such a record you should click Verify. If the setting is valid to be used for replaced bounce address then a green mark will appear next to the domain address:

Enter a subdomain to be used for branded links in emails and then add a corresponding DNS CNAME entry to the zone file of the selected domain.

For example, if you enter "links" as a subdomain for the branded email links then the help prompt will show that you need to add the following CNAME record:

Copy

Branded Links CNAME record

links.vineyard.ru.    3600    IN    CNAME    go.vine.eu.

After you have added such a record you should click Verify. If the setting is valid to be used for replaced email links then a green mark will appear next to the domain address:

Email Address

Using the Email Address set of settings you can configure email addresses you use while sending marketing emails:

Your vine email. This is the email address Vine has created for your company and will use it to process replies to emails you send. Normally, you should create your own Reply address for your emails instead of this automatically generated one. You can create your own mailbox anywhere with the name you like and configure it to forward emails to Your vine email. Then Vine will be able to read responses and collect reply statistics and out-of-office data.
Forwarding email address. This is where you should enter the email address you have configured to be used as Reply address for your emails. Click TEST EMAIL FORWARDING to verify that forwarding to Your Vine email has been configured correctly. Please note that the test might take a few minutes. You will see a green check mark if the test passes.
Please note that this address is included in a list of email addresses suggested to you when choosing a Sender or Reply address for an email.
Invite Friend email address This is the From address you would like to use in Invite Friend emails. Click TEST INVITE FRIEND EMAIL to verify if a sample Invite Friend email you will receive has the From address you would like your emails to have.

Email Templates

The Email Templates tool allows creating new email templates and converting old ones.

To open the tool, click Templates.

Discount Codes

In this pane, you can import discount codes from an Excel file and then insert those in Emails you send to your customers. Each code will be used in only one email.

To import discount codes to a new group:

Click New Group.
Enter the name of the group. (Spaces are not allowed in the name.)

Click Import Codes and then select an Excel file with those. Your codes will be imported and the number of imported ones will be shown.

Click OK to save the group. If you want to discard the imported group then click Cancel

To add codes to an existing group click, click and then select Import (Append) codes. After that select an Excel file to add codes from it.

To delete a group, click and then select Delete Group.

API Keys

You can create API keys in the API Keys tab in Settings. API keys can be used to log in to Vine services without using Vine username and password. API keys are more secure to be used in external services because:

There is no need to store your password with an external service and you can simply delete an API key and remove access to Vine for that service.
API keys stay functional even if you have to change your Vine password.
API keys can limit access to functionality only required by that service.

To create an API key click New Key.

Enter a name and a description for your key.
From the Rights list select access rights for your key. Currently, Vine API keys support access to Vine REST and Vine Zapier integration.

Click OK. Your key will be created.

Now you can copy and paste the key to give other services access to your Vine.

You can find more information about using API keys in Zapier Integration.
