Mailchimp is an email marketing platform that allows users to create, send, and manage email campaigns while providing tools for audience engagement and analytics.

Unlike other email services, Mailchimp emphasizes user-friendly automation, requiring specific snippets of code called shortcodes. We've created a specific set of templates to include Mailchimp's shortcode.

To upload them onto the platform, please follow the directions below:

1. Create a New Template in Classic Builder
2. Upload the Zip File: Include the index.html file and the image folder.
3. Create a New Email Campaign: Go to the Create button -> Email -> Regular.
4. Design Your Email: In the Content Section of your email, click the ‘Design Email’ button.
5. Select Your Template: Choose the desired template under the Saved Template tab.
6. Update the Template: Edit your content in the Mailchimp editor and save your changes.

Important Things to Note:

• Make sure to manually add the width of the images you are using on the Mailchimp editor for each image
• Click on image -> settings -> under image size add width of images (do not exceed 640px for any images used as mailchimp does not support 2x retina images) and ensure the keep proportions checkbox is marked.
• Save and test on different browser and devices to ensure the layout appears correct!
• For Buttons, click on the button to edit, then highlight the text in the editor to add a link.
