Content: New/Edit Content: HTML Message

For a step-by-step guide to making content, see Content: New Content.

HTML Message

The HTML contents of of your message.

If you are including images in your HTML, make sure that the path for your images is the absolute path (the complete URL), not the relative path. For example, your HTML editor might make the path for a image to be something like /img/product.jpg. These should be changed to the absolute path: http://shelby.com/img/product.jpg.

Note that not all email clients will show the background of your message, so it may be best to use a white background for your HTML message.

If your content also includes a text message, your message will be sent out with both text and HTML. This kind of message is called multipart-alternative format, and it ensures that recipients who can read HTML see only HTML, but those who can't will see the plain text message.

Keep in mind that not everyone can read HTML, so it's a good idea to always include a Text Message as well.

To create a clickthrough tracking URL, click on Insert URL. You'll be taken to the Content: Insert URL page, where you can create a tracking URL which you can later track in Reports: Mailing Reports: Tracking Statistics.

To personalize the message, click on Insert Field to add a mail merge tag. Or, click on Insert Condition to create conditional content.

Important note for users of earlier versions of ListManager: The list, site or server message wrapping will not be automatically included to your message if you create it through the ListManager administrator GUI. Please remember to add these instructions to your content or mailing, or send the message to the list via email. See Content: Insert Field: Unsubscribe to see how to do so quickly and easily.
