Where can I create a design for my email?

What do I have to consider when creating an email design?
A new window will open where you give the email design a name and insert the HTML code for the email design.
It is important to use two mandatory placeholders:
-
$ {content.content} – Marking of the content area within the email design. All text input when composing the e-mail is placed in this area.
-
$ {footer.unsubscribeLink} - Link to unsubscribe form for email notifications. Legally, this function must be offered in every email.
Both placeholders must be used in the HTML design and are checked before saving.
In addition, all umlauts and special characters should be replaced with appropriate HTML escape characters in possible text elements.
You can then select the new design in the email templates or for individual emails.
Additional placeholders
In addition to the required fields mentioned, there are a number of optional placeholders that can dynamically extend the design. Due to the large number, we provide this overview in the attachment of the article.
