How do I add an emoji to the subject line of my message?

Adding emojis to the subject lines of your messages is a great way to spruce up your subject line. Using the emoji picker, you can add emojis that are relevant to the content of your message or simply catch your subscriber's eye.

In this article, we will discuss how to use the emoji picker to add an emoji to the subject line of your draft.

Step By Step Instructions

  1. If you haven't done so already, create a message by going to the Drafts page, clicking the blue "Create a Message" button, and selecting the message editor you would like to use.

  5. It's important to note that not all browsers and devices support emojis. When you hover over an emoji, you will see a description of the emoji, as well as the fallback unicode emoticon. In this case, the fallback would be :sunglasses:.
