Create an email by uploading HTML

Welcome! In this video, you will learn how to create an email by uploading an HTML content through PadoDB Campaign V8 Web UI. In this session, you will learn three things, how to import an HTML file to create your email content, how to use the new HTML email converter to make it compatible with our new email designer and all the drag and drop capabilities, and how you can save this HTML as a content template to be a reusable object across multiple messages. From the email designer, as you know, you have multiple options to create email. You can start from scratch, you can code your own, you can use an out-of-the-box template, or you can use a custom template. And the final option is you can upload an HTML. It could be a zip file or an HTML file. Let’s take an example. I do have an HTML template available in my laptop. Let’s import it. Here you go. Here is my full HTML template that has been created by creative designers. As you can see, this HTML is in compatibility mode. That means you can modify the text, you can modify the images, but you don’t have access to the drag and drop capabilities on the left rail. To have access to those capabilities, you first need to convert the HTML. So through the right rail, in the HTML converted tab, you just need to click convert. It will scan the entire HTML and make it compatible with our new email designer. Here you go. Once it is done, you have access to all the capabilities from the left rail. As you can see, you can drag and drop new elements. Could be buttons, could be HTML, could be images. It’s really up to you and the use case you want to achieve. You have access to the AEM asset library where you can drag and drop new images in your content. You also have access to the structure of the HTML with all the components, all the links that you can of course edit and modify the tracking type, the label, the category to make it available in the reporting. And of course you can define a dynamic content. From here, you can add multiple variations of this image based on the target or based on the specific condition rule. Once you are done with your HTML, you can save this and it will save the delivery itself or you can save as a content template. Let’s try it. I will give it a name. Content template. Once I’ve saved this, I can close this page. I’m in my email delivery right here, but if I navigate through campaign templates, I will retrieve the template that I just created. This one. And of course I can edit it again through the email designer. Here you go. So with that content template library, you can easily save and reuse multiple HTML custom templates across the different email deliveries that you have to create. Thank you.
