On September 15th, we introduced our new email builder to our customers during an “ Ask me anything ” session. Attendees were able to watch CEO Norman Pracht create an email and then have a Q&A session.
Here is a summary of all the information that was exchanged!
Do old created emails still work?
We made sure not to break anything from version 2 to version 3. Everything that is already created will still work.
Regarding new emails, there are several cases available to you:
Email or existing theme:
If you edit an old email, the old builder will launch for the modifications and this vietnam email list also works with your old templates (an old template is not compatible with the new builder).
Template created by Webmecanik
It will be converted to be used with the new email builder. You will find in your templates the “converted” version, which will open with the new email builder.
New template:
A tutorial is available to create a template yourself very easily!
Is drag and drop smoother?
A more fluid and pleasant interface to use was our primary goal! We used specific technologies from mobile applications, which guarantee you a foolproof drag and drop (and we must admit that we are very proud of it!)
Will it still be possible to create dynamic content?
Yes, no functionality disappears between the old and the new builder, the goal is to bring new possibilities and improve the use of the builder. To set up dynamic content, I invite you to consult this tutorial !
Will creating emails from an RSS feed still be available?
Yes, no changes on that side, and the tutorial is here !
Can I save an email as a theme?
Not at launch. You have the ability to create a standard email and clone it to bw lists it. An improvement is planned later to give you this possibility.
Will it be possible to test the different variations in the test emails?
Not today, but it is a possible feature in functional developments.
Will it be possible to save some blocks to make them reusable?
Indeed, we can imagine having the possibility to save a block bias and discrimination that you use regularly (title – text – CTA for example). We decided to provide you with the email builder since it covers all the existing features, this one would be a nice-to-have that we will think about!
Is there any change in the image library?
With major version 3, we have changed the file manager. When you are in the interface, you have a new library that you can organize into folders, subfolders, etc.
Should images be hosted before embedding them in the email?
No, you can, as today, import them at the time of creation or copy-paste the link of the image hosted elsewhere.
