User interface templates

Additional template files allow you to customize the user interface of your e-mail campaigns and divide the templates into smaller snippets.

Additional template files allow the user interface to be customized towards message recipients. These additional files can be defined at the level of a specific template, or in shared templates. If an additional file exists in the shared templates, this file takes precedence over the system interface. If an additional file exists directly in the template, then it takes precedence over the file in shared templates as well as the default system template.

Additional template files can be customized by modifying the default templates in the following ways.

In the detail of the template, click the New template file button and select which additional template file to create.

Blank template

The blank template allows you to create any template file, eg. a microsite page or poll template. These template files can be included from other template files. In case the file has been created in shared templates it can be included from any template in the system.

Template block

Template blocks are used with Content Styles and define each individual block that can be used in the Drag & Drop editor.

Create a template with a poll

Due to the complexity of the preparation, it is worthwhile to create a survey in your own design only for surveys that will not change often and will remain the same for a longer period of time.

A new empty file will be inserted into the template that will be assigned to the campaign – for example survey.html

Place the entire survey in this file as follows:

• first send a campaign with a basic questionnaire/survey
• click on poll
• view the source code of the survey
• insert the source code (from <table> to </table>) into the file survey.html, where you give the poll its own look and wording
• it is still necessary to check and, if necessary, adjust the value
