How do I create an email template?
Short answer: Open Promotions, tab āEmail Templatesā, click āNew Templateā, fill in the name, subject and body, then save. Attachments are added once the template is saved.
Steps
- Open the Promotions page of the dashboard, then the āEmail Templatesā tab in the icon rail on the left.
- Click āNew Templateā. The editor opens on the right-hand side.
- Fill in the āTemplate Nameā ā this is the name you will find it under, it does not appear in the email.
- Fill in the āSubjectā and the āBodyā.
- Choose the āSignatureā. You can also leave āSignature to be chosen when sending the emailingā.
- Click āSave Templateā.
- Once the template is saved, the āAttachmentsā card becomes available: add your files with āFrom my computerā or āFrom visualsā.
While a required field is missing, the save button stays inactive and an orange note says which one: the name, then the subject, then the body.
Starting from an existing template
āDuplicateā creates an editable copy ā the normal way to start from a template shared by DAGOBA, or to make a variant of one of your own.
Editing and deleting
Click a row to reopen the template in the editor. While you are editing, the list is locked: close the editor before moving to another template, which is what stops your work in progress from being lost.
āDelete Templateā removes it from the list. Emailings already sent with that template stay in the history.
