What this helps you do
Build one email design that can be reused in marketing campaigns.
Before you start
Prepare the subject, message, links, and images. Sending a preview uses the email rate shown in Marketing credits.
Steps
- Open Marketing, then Email templates.
- Select New template.
- Enter a Template name. Only staff see this name.
- Enter the Subject customers should see in their inbox.
- Write the email in the editor.
- Use the toolbar for headings, quote text, bold, italic, underline, text colour, lists, alignment, and indentation.
- Select Link to add or remove a link from selected text.
- Select Button to add a button. Enter its text, full link, colour, and corner roundness.
- Select Insert image to choose an image from media.
- To change the whole email background, right-click empty space in the email body and choose a colour.
- Select Save.
- Select Send preview to send a real test email after the saved version is ready.
What happens next
The template appears in the Template picker when creating an email campaign. A preview sends the saved version, so new unsaved changes must be saved first. The Email templates page shows each template's private name, subject, and last-updated date. Search finds a template by name or subject, and Sort can arrange the list by template name or updated date. Select a row to edit that template.
Common problems
- Save is unavailable: both Template name and Subject are required, and something must have changed.
- Send preview is unavailable: save the template first and make sure enough marketing credits are available.
- A button is rejected: enter a valid full link and colour.
- The background picker does not appear: right-click empty space inside the email body, not text or a button.
