Templates make it easy to reuse content and designs in your campaigns. For example, you can create a template for your monthly newsletter. This allows you to keep the design of your emails consistent and reduce the effort you spend on preparing the newsletter each month.
Furthermore, thanks to the dynamic templating system, you can add subscriber information (e.g. their names) to your templates.
Viewing Templates
Click on the Templates link in the side menu to list your templates. This will redirect you to the templates page.
Create and Update Templates
- Adding a Template:
- Go to the Templates page and click on the New Template button.
- Template Requirements:
- Name: Specify a name for the template.
- Content: The template must have valid content in HTML format.
- Mandatory Placeholder: The template must include the following placeholder to embed the content of a campaign:
{{content}}
Placeholders
Placeholders that can be used in templates:
- Mandatory:
{{content}}– The content of the campaign is added here. - Additional Placeholders:
{{email}}– Subscriber’s e-mail address{{first_name}}– Name of the subscriber (if specified){{last_name}}– Surname of the subscriber (if specified){{unsubscribe_url}}– A URL that allows the subscriber to unsubscribe{{webview_url}}– A URL that allows the subscriber to view the message in web view
Using URL Placeholders
{{unsubscribe_url}} and {{webview_url}} only make up the URL. It does not create a clickable link. If you want to make a clickable link, you should use an HTML anchor tag.
Example:
<a href="{{unsubscribe_url}}">Abonelikten çıkmak için buraya tıklayın</a>
CSS Usage and Style Management
Many email clients ignore or remove external styles and embedded styles (in the <head> section of HTML).
Grispi Bulk Email Portal automatically inlines all your CSS styles when emails are sent. This way, you can continue to use CSS in your templates and ensure that your subscribers view emails correctly.
If your template has both CSS and inline styles:
- Inline styles are preserved.
- CSS styles are added to existing inline styles.
This system allows you to create consistent and professional email designs through the templates of the Grispi Bulk Email Portal. With dynamic placeholders and automatic style management, your templates always work correctly.
