Newsletter Elements
There are a number of Elements that can be added to a newsletter that you are creating.
Below is an outline of each of these elements and what they can be used for within the newsletter
Text:
Text can be added anywhere in the body of the Newsletter you are creating. You are able to to format all of your text using the formatting bar at the top of the newsletter creator. From here you can add links, headers as well as any changes you may wish to make.
Name Variables:
Within the body of your text (And in subject lines) you are able to add name variables to the Email newsletters you are sending. This helps create a more personalised experience for your Users.
To do this use the Person Icon at the top of your formatting bar.
When you select this option you will be able to select the variable you would like to add to your newsletter. You can choose from First Name, Last Name & Full Name. This will be the name of the person who is receiving the email.
Headers:
Header Images act as a banner for your email. These can be uploaded directly when creating a Newsletter, or alternatively, you can select from template headers that have already been created in your account.
Headers should be no more than 1200x600px. Our recommended size is 550x100
Please note only one header can be added to a Newsletter at a time.
Footers:
Footers are the lower banner image for your email. Only one footer can be added to each newsletter you create. these are not necessary, but nice to round off an email.
