1. Click the Library tab. Select Templates and click on Customized Templates.
2. Here use the +New Template and select the HTML editor option.
3. Once you are in the editor, select the HTML option from the toolbar.
4. Copy and paste the code for the HTML template you had designed. Review the content once before saving and exiting.

NOTE: If your template contains images, these need to be hosted on a public URL. Templates containing images hosted on a private URL will NOT be saved.Preferably use Google Chrome or Firefox to avoid issues while designing and uploading templates.

In the test email the Merge tags used, or header and footer links for that matter will not work and only the Merge Tag code will be displayed. To check the working of the merge tags:

1. Create a test list and add your email id added it.
2. Send the campaign email to this list and then check the working of the merge tags and the various links.

Even if a campaign has been reviewed, you can still edit it but once a campaign has been sent, you will need to clone it to use the content again. If you see yourself using a particular campaign content frequently, then save the content to Library as a template for future use.

To insert Social Media buttons like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn etc. insert those icons as an image along with a space character. Add a space character next to each image and embed the corresponding Facebook/Twitter link to those images along with the space character.

You can tackle this issue in a couple of ways:

1. If you are using Internet Explorer, please switch to Firefox or Chrome to design the template.
2. Clear the browser cache and then try to create the content.

Embedded videos using the video merge tag will show the thumbnail of the video and will play in a pop-up or a new window /tab on the actual website and not within the email itself. The thumbnail will be visible if the subscriber allows images in the email to be displayed. Refer the link for more information: Video Merge Tags

We try to review and approve your Campaigns ASAP. Typically the Campaigns review team checks for the following:

1. Content: Adherence to basic guidelines for objectionable content that might get classified as spam.
2. Sender address: Typically when the sender address is a public domain address type e.g. abc@yahoo.co.in, the email can end up being labeled as spam. It is recommended to use custom domain email to avoid this.

Once these checks are done the campaign is approved. In case of any issues we will be reaching out to you.

To target unresponsive subscribers you can use the "Add a Chain Campaign", which automatically targets the unopened contacts from the mailing list used for a particular campaign.

You cannot add attachments to your campaign mails. This is primarily for the purpose of deliverability as such mails are highly likely to be marked as SPAM.

An alternative you can use is that you can upload the attachments to a public server and add the link in the email.

We'd suggest you not use a public domain address to send marketing emails. The reason being you'll not get a good open and click rate because your recipients may not know if it is from you. Also there is a high possibility of your email being marked as spam if you send it from a public domain address like "Gmail" or "Yahoo".
