Html email campaign
Hello,
I am trying to upload an html email campaign i created onto Godaddy email
campaign marketing. But it's not coming up completely. It gave me an error
that it has CSS script, the only thing I did was use a jpeg and create a Hotspot over
it to creat a link to the site. Could that be it? It just shows up as a yellow block
and that is the backround color for the page. Thank you.

HTML Email - Will an inline-coded CSS image float work?
Best guesses are welcome.
Many thanks for your counsel.Oddly enough, when creating HTML emails, you WANT to use inline styled Tables or image maps instead of floats.
Mail Chimp and iContact have some excellent templates and tutorials to help you get started with HTML email campaigns.

Creating a HTML document for email campaign
I need to send an email campaign and it has to be in HTML. I tried to export it from keynote, open the file in Safari and paste the way to the email message. Obviously it didn't work out well. Any help?? How can I create a HTML document ready to email and be seen as I see it, by the recipient?
Hi Ariel,
try a xstring to string conversion:
DATA: conv TYPE REF TO CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE.
conv = CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>CREATE( input = Xcontent ).
conv->READ( importing data = content len = len ).

I have recently created a website for my family's business. When we bought the Macbook the guy in Apple said the best way to send an email campaign to our mailing list was to publish a hidden page, find it in the browser on Safari, then share it via email, so that is what I do. For most of my customers this works fine, however I have a number of people each month who cannot see any of the content of the email. I have added an 'If you can't see this email properly...' link at the top of the page, with no shapes or images etc near it, but even that does not appear for them.
I am a self-taught novice unfortunately, so haven't a clue what the problem is. I'm not sure of the operating system, but we bought the Macbook in May and it has all the recent updates installed. I have just had a new baby so can't get into the store fdor a one-to-one, so if anyone could explain why this happens / what I can do about it, I would be very grateful! Thanks!If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/EBlast.html
This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

How to use/import CM Tags in html email templates?
Hi guys
I would like to start designing html email templates and send mailings for my clients. Can anyone tell me how I can easily insert CM tags so that the template will be easily adapted to the content of the certain email in the email manager like Campagin Monitor?
Thanks!
BobHi Nancy O.
I would like to design my own templates and instantly insert the right tags and so, so that I can import the templates to websites like Campaign Monitor and my clients can open templates when sending new mailsings.
The goal is to have my own designed templates for my clients with their layouts which they can use for their mailings. Also extending the newsletter (adding new article fields) should be possible etc.
Can you tell me what codes I need and what I should pay attention to in order to design nice templates that will appear correctly in nearly each mailbox?
Thanks in advance!

OT: Fixing HTML Email in Outlook 2010
Beyond all understanding, MS has confirmed that they plan to use Word's rendering engine for HTML email in Outlook 2010. It's still in beta, and Microsoft supposedly wants our feedback. A site has been set up to help Microsoft understand that a great many of us think this is a rather foolish decision.
You can have your say by going to: http://fixoutlook.org/. As of this posting, almost 19,000 people have signed on.
With any luck, MS will actually listen.
JohnWith any luck, MS will actually listen.
Admirable as these grassroots campaigns are, this one won't have any effect.

How can I get the Email Campaigns Blog module to display correctly in Outlook?
I'm having a bit of trouble with this. I've used the email campaign builder to build a campaign; added the blog module to it and applied a custom template to it so that it should display correctly, but outlook has other ideas...
Here's what it should look like:
and here's what outlook gives me:
this is built within tables and the tables and cells all have set widths of 520px, yet the blog module seems to ignore this and somehow sit outside of them, breaking the template (BUT only in outlook).
Is this a problem anyone has experienced before?
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks
SamHTML Email Campaign design is still a very tricky beast. There are no standards like the makers of the major web browsers have been pushing for and adhering to over the years for web designers so since there are any number of email clients like your native mobile phone email clients, desktop clients like Outlook and Thunderbird and then web-based email clients like Gmail, Yahoo!, etc. there's no standard to display HTML in emails so each client does things differently.
Outlook and Gmail in the past have been the worst offenders. Fixing it is nothing simple. You need to go into your markup and make sure every table has a width set both in the inline STYLE attribute as well as the WIDTH attribute on the TABLE element.
Outlook 2007 and 2010 are both horrendous at displaying HTML uniformly- as it relies on the Microsoft Word rendering engine. Most of the time for my clients I tell them that if the end user can read and click links in Outlook then it's a win-- they're used to seeing horrible formatted emails no doubt. But, if you find most of your email list is using Outlook (corporate/enterprise customers) then you should keep tweaking it.
It's impossible to tell from screenshots what the issue is-- it's likely a markup issue if there is one. -
Email campaign with picture in email body
Hello All,
I have searched for email campaign in BYD system but couldn't find anything like that.
We want email campaign to be run from SAP System (just like mail merge) in which email body can contain picture or .jpg file.
May i know about this? or any html code for adding picture in email body?
Please help, ThanksTry turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
Email Campaign created in Muse
Does anybody know if it is possible to get a Muse created layout into a BC email campaign. I like the idea of quickly created good looking email layouts all done in Muse and sent out using a BC campaign. If this is possible it would save me many hours of building in Dreamweaver.
Any hints or tips or just a plain old ‘no it cant be done’ will help
thanks
MartinKnowing the code it spits out such a campaign would not turn out on mail clients very well.
You have to code newsletter templates in a certain way to ensure they come in emails properly. You cant not just take html pages and have them work. -
System name below email campaign
Currently trying to finalize an email template, and for some reason the system name prints out below the email in current tests. It seems to be rendering by itself right below/as part of the invisible tracking image. Is there a tag needed in the email to avoid this being rendered?
Hi,
The only thing I can think of is the "Powered By" reference text that will display either BC or the partner's info on every newsletter. This can be found via portal -> settings.

For those of you who have worked with me before - I'm trying, I really am.
I'm building a html email newsletter from scratch for the first time and running into a few issues.
I put this on a website so that you can access the code. http://www.merelyvinyl.com/newsletter_exp.html
On the surface I only see three real issues (a box extending beyond its area, text that won't align, text that won't adjust to the right color), but when I ask Dreamweaver to point out code irregularities - well there is one consistant issue I'm doing wrong over and over again. And one small issue with font sizing (code) that I can probably sort out.
That being said, as typical of me, I have bitten off more than I can chew. I've basically used two examples of email html and tweaked it to build what I wanted. So...........I can't tell whether my tags are overlapping or written in the wrong way (or both).
Yes, I know. Kind of a mess in there. What I find strange about html is when you try to tweak it - it invariably wants to get worse than it was originally.
Thanks in advance. Nancy I always appreciate your help.
MMIf you are planning on sending this to all your customers, I wouldn't think "just live with what we've got" would be a good response to have. How your newsletters look to the customer would either encourage them to continue to use you, or discourage them and you might find they "unsubscribe" from your notifications faster than you can send them out.
There is a lot of work to get the emails to look correct in EVERY email client but fortunately there are a lot of helpful guides around the internet to help with that. I have listed some below. All you need is one, fully working template which can then serve as the basis for all the rest. It's time well spent, in my opinion.

Hello,
I was hoping I would be able to get some assistance with a problem I've been trying to figure out for a while now. My client wants to do something where if you subscribe to an email campaign of theirs, that it will automatically trigger a 7 day email blast for clients who sign up. As in each day of the week for only 1 week they will recieve a new email from my client about a different topic each time. Is something like this even possible? Thank you very much.
JordanHi Jordan,
That's indeed possible. We call it "email series". You can create 7 of those campaigns, with a delivery day of 0 for the first and 7 for the last, assign the same email marketing list to each campaign and once the customer is added to that list they will receive the o delivery day campaign first, then receive one each day.
See Email Series section in this link http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/536/bc_536.html#main_Setting_up_a_loyalty_based_campaign

Why is my HTML email showing up wrong in different email account?
I've seen this before and I think it has to do with CSS (which I realize isn't supposed to be in emails), but I'm super new to this and have scoured the internet to find out exactly what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it. It shows up properly in my Yahoo acccount, but not in my Gmail accounts (which initially threw it in Spam, if that has anything to do with it). I only know the very basics of HTML and CSS, but still have get this work done and I'm assuming someone will be able to view the code and see what my issue is pretty quick - I hope! It previews in browsers just fine, it's only when I'm click "Forward to a Friend" to send it to myself to test.

How it's showing up in Gmail (Incorrectly! All the copy should be within the white box.):
Screencap from DW:
So, is it CSS causing this? Are the Tables setup incorrectly? Something not Inline? Not enough info for you? Gmail HATES ME?!
I'm just not seeing it and need to put the question out there while I continue to search for an anwer. Please respond!
Thanks!Many mail clients reject images, JavaScript and embedded CSS styles. For best results use plain text near the top to communicate your message and give a link to the actual web page on your server.
For mail clients that do have limited support for HTML, use uncomplicated tables and inline CSS rules (inside the body tag).
All that meta data description is a red flag to spam filters. You shouldn't be using meta description or keywords in e-mails.

Help needed with creating HTML email in Dreamweaver
Hi everyone, would really appreciate some help with a dilemma or two that I have.
I have created the following newsletter in Dreamweaver and uploaded it to our website:
http://www.nova-design.co.uk/sales/000030.html
Now, when I go into my email mass mailing client (Handymailer) and send a test out, I encounter a couple of problems.
Firstly, in Outlook when I receive the email, the grey table on the right of the eshot, is crushed and a lot of the single line text is forced to go over two lines...
Secondly, in Hotmail, the table displays fine, but it does say that "This message is too wide to fit your screen. Show full message."
Once I click "Show full message" it displays in full, but I then need to scroll across to the middle of the browser to view the email.
If I left align the newsletter will this problem be solved? Or is there a way in Dreamweaver that I can edit the entire page size so that it's not too wide?
The table is 600px wide so I assumed that any email sent out would shrink to this size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is the first full HTML email I have sent out so it's going to be far from perfect!mozza34 wrote:
I need to look into using inline css styles, I have no idea how to so need to read up on those.
I created a transparent GIF and placed it, but that moves my text down because the image is in the way? Am I doing that right?
Make the transparent gif 1px high.
Is it the links in the right column that go onto two lines? If so that could be because the links are wider than the actual column itself..so you will have to make column wider.
If you can't sort it, have a look at the code below, copy and paste into a new Dreamweaver document and test out. Inline css styling is used in the code below. I've masked your email so no spam bots get hold of it.

Follow-up email triggered on email campaign click
I am wondering if it is possible for a follow-up email campaign to be triggered once someone has clicked a link in the previous email.
For example, I want to send out an email to subscribers of an email campaign, with a link to an informative webinar. I then would like only those that have opened the email, and preferably clicked the link, to be sent a follow-up email (a day or 2 later) with extra contextual information that assumes they have watched the video.
My needs are not limited to this example, but hopefully you get the idea.
How might I go about doing this?Hi Dayle,
You can't trigger campaigns based on a user's interaction with the e-mail content itself, if it points externally, but you could try to redirect the user to a BC page where you could auto subscribe him to a "follow-up mailing list" before redirecting to the video itself, as per your scenario (or having the video embedded there). In regards to enabling the webform to properly autosubmit the apropriate information, you could build the link by this pattern: http://yourBCwebsite.com/landingpage?email={module_emailaddress}&fullname={module_fullname}. This way the url will be different per each user clicking it, but it will point to the same page. On that page you can prepopulate the subscribe form fields with {module_url,email} and {module_url,fullname}
Kind Regards,
Alex
