Replicate template in MailChimp
-
Edit template for the campaign
You should make it complete, not as a template. All texts, pics should be final.
You can use tags from the Mail Merge Sheet like
{{First Name}}
or{{Email Address}}
and it will be populated for each recipient.Basic template, just drag & drop content, edit texts, etc.
This is more tricky one. You have a special header that has a backround image, an overlay and you can also enter text. The MailChimp editor does not handle this, you should do it by code.
-
Click the header.
-
Scary colorful text appears on the right.

Egész cucc:
background-image
: change the URL in the ()background-position
: position the background in the box. First is the horizontal (that can betop
,center
,bottom
), second the vertical (left
,center
,right
)
Do not edit red text outside the lines!
-
Overlay: sets the overlay color and opacity. Grab a color picker, like this and choose a color. Copy the RGB value (something like
rgb(123,123,123)
), but only the three numbers (123,123,123
)! Paste it in, but leave the 4th number (0.5)! It will look like this:background-color: rgba(123,123,123,0.5);
The last (4th) number is the opacity.
0
is transparent,1
is opaque. Set something in between. -
Tartalom: here you set the spacing the text in the header box should have. First is vertical, second horizontal. Play with the numbers and you will see.
-
Text fields: the following three are predefined text fields. You can copy/paste them to make more. Settings are:
color
: text color (rgb, hex color, or plain color name)text-align
: (left
,right
,center
,justify
)font-family
: ('Playfair Display', serif
) or delete property
-
Texts: the black texts are the actual lines that appear on the header. Edit or delete them as you like.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER EDIT GREEN OR BLUE TEXT. RED TEXT CAN BE EDITED BETWEEN THE LINES (/*--------*/
).Otherwise this template can be edited the same way as the Simple.
