Email Builder

The screen has two important areas (row types and content types). In the central area, we will design our email with the help of the elements situated on the right area. In this video, we explain you how to drag & drop the elements into your email. Find out!

Content

In the content area, you see first row types (the structure of design) with 6 file options. Then you see the content types to choose what introduce on every row: html code, text, image, button and social media. With any of these possibilities you can edit several options to make a fabulous email.

Variable Example

Hi Tom! We have discounts in our Madrid store, are you going to miss them?

The scheme would be this: Hi {{var:name}}! We have discounts in our {{var:city}}store, are you going to miss them?

For this simple example, the variables are the customer's name and city following this format: {{var:variable-name}}.

These variables are the data you have on your CRM and it is necessary to upload a .CSV file with all data you need in the Define your Audience section. For this example, you need the following fields:

email, name, city
[email protected], Tom, Madrid
[email protected], Sarah, London

Remember that if you are working with the Customer Journey solution then you need to create the fields in the Customer Fields area as we explain here. Please see all information about data synchronization for Customer Journey.
