Customers are always amazing me. I always say that a customer can know more about our product than we do. So I'm dedicating a category to "workarounds", that is, for one reason or another we have not gotten to a specific update but sure enough a customer has come up with a clever way around the issue.
The Issue:
"I like your Email Wizard with the nifty borders, but I don't know how to bold, ital, and move things exactly where I want them. Furthermore I'd love to put trackable links in the middle of my content."
The Workaround:
1. In "Preview" click on your computer's "View" then "Page Source".
2. Find <!-- ### CUT AND PASTE BORDER CONTENT STARTING HERE ### --> and <!-- ### CUT AND PASTE BORDER CONTENT ENDING HERE ### --> in the HTML code and copy it.
3. Start a new campaign using "Email Canvas."
4. Click on the "Edit Source" tab and paste the new code into the white canvas.
5. Toggle over to the "Edit Graphical" tab and POOF you see your campaign like you had it in Email Wizard, except now you can use our HTML editor by just selecting the words you want to bold and click the "B" icon.
You can also insert pix from your Media Library, as well as insert trackable links anywhere you want by simply highlighting what you want your link to be and clicking on the link button (shown below). A window pops up to ask what you'd like your link to be, type it in and you've got a trackable link...voila!
Huge Caveat:
Make sure that when you paste your HTML in the Email Canvas and edit your campaign, you remove the old unsubscribe instructions that are included in the bottom of the email. VerticalResponse does not allow for multiple unsubscribes in a single email, since it's confusing to the recipient, especially one that won't work.
Let me know if this was helpful!
