Create and edit email templates

Create a template

1. Go to Marketing › Email Templates.
2. Click Create.
3. For a blank one, click Blank template, type a Template name, then click Create template.
4. For a preset, click Browse presets, then Use template on one you like.

Add images, GIFs and links

1. Add an image block to your design, then click to choose its image. The Image Gallery opens.
2. Click Upload and pick a PNG, JPG or GIF.
3. If you see file upload failed, try a smaller file, GIFs especially, then upload it again.
4. To add a link, select some words, a button or an image, then add the link to it. A button or linked words read better than a long web address.
5. For your booking page, use Stampede Links › Booking, so bookings from the email are tracked.

Make it look right on phones and in Outlook

Every inbox draws an email a little differently, so send yourself a preview and open it on a phone and in Outlook or Hotmail before you send.

• For a full-width header image, set the image's width to 100% and its padding to 0.
• Keep the padding the same on both sides, or the content sits off-centre.
• Some inboxes, Outlook among them, hold back images until the reader allows them. Put the offer and dates in text, not only in an image.
• Phones can underline dates and times on their own. Underlines that came from pasted text go if you retype the text in the builder.
• First Name under Profile Information fills in each guest's first name, and is blank for guests without one. Write a greeting that still reads well without it.

Fonts, video and attachments

• You can use the standard email fonts plus the extra ones in the builder's font list, such as Oswald, Fira Sans and Lustria. You cannot add your own or a bought font.
• Email apps do not play video. Use a GIF instead, uploaded like any image, and link it to the video.
• Emails cannot carry attachments. Put a PDF online and link to it from a button.
• There is no way to upload HTML made in another tool, such as Canva. Rebuild the design in the builder.

Check it worked

Good to know
