Available editor types

Email Campaigns includes two ways to design emails.

The visual editor allows you to create emails using drag-and-drop blocks.

No technical or coding knowledge is required.

You can easily add:

  • Images

  • Buttons

  • Text blocks

  • Dividers

  • Headers

  • Column layouts

Advantages of the visual editor

  • Easy to use

  • Automatic responsive design

  • Faster campaign creation

  • Ideal for non-technical users


HTML editor

The HTML editor is designed for advanced users or design teams.

It allows you to:

  • Write HTML code manually

  • Import .html files

  • Fully customise the design

  • Use existing email marketing structures

When to use the HTML editor

It is recommended for:

  • Advanced corporate designs

  • Existing external templates

  • Technical teams

  • Fully customised email layouts


Manage existing templates

When hovering over an available template, several actions become available.

Preview

Allows you to review how the email will appear before using it.

This helps check:

  • Design

  • Formatting

  • Images

  • Overall structure


Use as campaign template

You can create a campaign directly from an existing template.

This speeds up campaign creation and helps maintain visual consistency across communications.


Duplicate template

The Duplicate option creates an editable copy of an existing template.

This is useful for:

  • Creating variations

  • Reusing structures

  • Adapting similar campaigns

  • Maintaining different versions


Dynamic variables and personalisation

Marketing Campaigns allows you to personalise emails automatically using dynamic variables.

These variables retrieve information directly from Sage Sales Management.

Example

You can insert variables such as:

  • Contact name

  • Company name

  • Sales information

During sending, the system automatically replaces each variable with the recipient’s real information.

Example:

Hello -name-

may become:

Hello Marta


How to add dynamic variables

While editing the subject line or email content:

  1. Open the field selector

  2. Select the desired variable

  3. Insert the tag into the content

The system automatically manages personalisation during sending.
