How do I add my own HTML to my message?

Once you start creating your campaign or broadcast using our Drag & Drop Email Builder, you may want to add your own HTML elements to your message. With our Drag & Drop Email Builder, you can easily accomplish this.

Our Drag & Drop Email Builder provides the option to modify text blocks in your message to add your own custom HTML code. If you're looking to fully code your own HTML without using the Drag & Drop Email Builder, our HTML Editor is available. This article explains how you can add your own HTML using the Drag & Drop Email Builder.

Step By Step Instructions

1. To access the Drag & Drop Email Builder first hover your mouse over the Messages tab and select Drafts. From there, click the button to Create a Message and select Drag & Drop Email Builder.
   
   
   
   
2. When creating your message, you will see the different blocks available for use in your message. You'll be dragging and dropping these blocks into your message.
   
   
   
   
3. You can add your own HTML coding to any of the following blocks: Paragraph, Article, Product, Coupon, and Signature. Once you drag and drop one of those blocks into your message, click on the block, and then choose the "Source" icon from the Paragraph toolbar.
   
   
   
   
4. A window will pop up where you can add in your HTML coding. Click "OK" once complete.
   
   
   
   

That's it! Now your block will be replaced with the custom HTML coding that you added into the source. If you need to make adjustments to that coding, just click the block where you added the custom HTML and complete the steps listed above again.
