Overview
When creating an Email Template, you may want to copy the content from an existing email without having to recreate it from scratch in our HTML email builder. For example, you may have email templates saved in a different platform or through a specialist EDM platform, such as Mailchimp.
In this case, you can copy the source code from the existing email content and paste it into a HTML block in our email template builder.
Step-by-Step
Step 1: Copy the email source code
First, you'll need to obtain the source code from your existing email template. If you're unsure how to do this, please consult the platform through which the email is currently hosted.
Step 2: Create a new Email Template
In GameDay, create a new email template by following the steps below:
Go to Communications > Create Email Template > Give the template a name > click SAVE
Step 3: Enter the basic details of the template
In the Settings tab, you can provide the following information about your Email Template:
- Subject: This is the subject line that will appear for recipients when you send the email
- Description: This is an optional field that allows you to further describe the Email Template that appears in your GameDay database only
- Status: Allows you to choose whether the template is in a Draft, Active or Inactive state
Step 4: Paste the source code into the Content section
Finally, in the Content tab, you can add your source code into the HTML editor by following the steps below:
Select HTML Template as the Template Type > Click the Add option on the content panel > Select the HTML option > Paste your source code in the HTML editor on the right-hand side
