About AMP for Email

Use the AMP for Email new format to include AMP components in your messages and improve the email experience with a rich and actionable content. With modern app functionality directly available within emails, recipients can interact dynamically with content in the message itself.

For example:

  • Emails written with AMP can contain interactive elements such as image carousels.
  • Content stays up-to-date in the message.
  • Recipients can respond to a form without leaving their inbox.

AMP for Email is compatible with existing emails. The AMP version of the message is embedded into the email as a new MIME part, in addition to the HTML and/or plain text, ensuring compatibility across all email clients.

Build AMP email content in Adobe Campaign

To build an email using the AMP format, follow the steps below.

IMPORTANT
Make sure you follow the AMP for Email requirements and specifications detailed in the AMP developer documentation. You can also consult the AMP for Email best practices.

  1. When creating your email delivery, select any template.

    NOTE
    A specific AMP template contains an example of the main capacities you can use: product listing, carousel, double opt-in, survey, and advanced server request.

  2. Click the AMP content tab.

  3. Edit the AMP content to suit your needs.

    NOTE
    For more on building your first AMP email, see the AMP developer documentation.

    For example, you can use the product list component from the AMP template and maintain a list of products from a third-party system, or even inside Adobe Campaign. Whenever you adjust a price or another element, it is automatically reflected when recipients open the email from their mailbox.

  4. Personalize your AMP content as needed, as you would usually do with HTML format in Adobe Campaign, with personalization fields and personalization blocks.

  5. Once done with editing, select your whole AMP content and copy-paste it into the AMP web-based validator or a similar website.

    NOTE
    Make sure you select AMP4 EMAIL from the drop-down list on top of the screen.

    NOTE
    Make sure you select AMP for Email from the drop-down list on top of the screen.
