Creating a new Template

  • You can further customize your email template with “Content Blocks,” which can be used to insert additional elements to an email template (such as an additional paragraph, button, image, etc.) In addition, “Layout Blocks” can be used to further customize the layout of these content blocks by, for example, displaying two paragraphs side by side.

  • Click Content on the left-hand side menu. Click and drag the chosen elements to the center Edit Email Template section.

  • Content:

    • Header

    • Paragraph

    • Image (such as logos)

    • Double

    • Double-Left

    • Double-Right

    • Triple

    • Quadruple

  • You have the same editing options as shown in the HTML section (ie - editing text, spacing, colors, etc).

  • When finished, click the green Save Template button.

ADF Email Builder

  • When creating a new template, you can also choose a simple ADF/XML builder.

  • Included are nodes with a “tag” (how the data will be referenced) and “value” (the value of the tag). You can add, remove, and update these nodes and the children of the nodes.

  • Each node also has a number of “attributes” which each have their own names and values. These attributes are used to differentiate tags, such as <name type=“first”> and <name type=“last”>.

Sending a Sample Template

  • After creating, uploading and/or adjusting your template, you can send a sample to multiple email addresses.

  • Click the blue Send Sample button on the left-hand menu.

  • Type in the destination email address. You can also click Add Email to add additional recipients.
