- | ====== Create Email ====== | ||
- | ===== Create an email from a template ===== | ||
- | |||
- | - From the Dashboard or Emails homescreen, click Create Email | ||
- | - Use the modal window to select the template that you wish to use, supply a Name and Description, and click Use Template | ||
- | |||
- | From here you can the proceed through the workflow and use the [[editor|editor]] to work on your email's content and layout. | ||
- | ===== Copy an email ===== | ||
- | |||
- | - Find the email you wish to copy, click its cog menu, and choose Copy Email | ||
- | - Use the modal window to provide a Name and Description for your email and click Copy | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Import an email ===== | ||
- | |||
- | As well as creating an email from a [[templates|Template]] or copying an email, you can do all email production externally to Sentori. This method would suit agencies, designers, and people very comfortable preparing HTML for emails. | ||
- | |||
- | You can use a little or as much of the [[editor|editor's features]] (such as [[slot|slots]]), [[template-markup#system-mergefields|system mergefields]], or our [[template-markup|template language]] as you need. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Paste HTML ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Using this option, you simply copy/paste your prepared HTML code into the text box provided. This assumes that images will be remotely hosted elsewhere. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Upload a zip file ==== | ||
- | |||
- | This method allows you to upload your email's HTML and accompanying images (which Sentori will host for you). This method functions exactly like uploading a Template from a ZIP file, except the end result is a single email rather than a Template. | ||
- | |||
- | === How to setup your zip file === | ||
- | |||
- | * Your HTML file must be named index.html | ||
- | * All content (the index.html file and any image files) must either be loose in the root of the ZIP file, or contained in a single folder inside of it. | ||
- | * Any images' "src" attributes must either use absolute URLs to images hosted elsewhere or simply contain the name of the file found in the Zip file, e.g. <img src="logo.png" /> and //not// <img src="**images/**logo.png" />. | ||
- | |||
- | Note: by default Macs will automatically create a sub-folder inside a zip file. |
