You can also edit the text properties using the inline editor that appears when you highlight text in a text block, such as formatting words. In this editor you will also find Special Links and Merge Field.

Special Links

Use the Special Links option to add an unsubscribe link to your text. Use the Manage Preferences option for your recipients to visit and select the kind of emails they do or do not want to receive from you as defined by your Email Type which you setup in your Brand Email Contact Preferences. Or link content in your emails to landing pages that you have created alongside this email using the Landing Page option.

Merge Field

Use this option to link your text content to a Merge field from Gold-Vision CRM.

Choose from a pre-defined set of Merge fields; or, depending upon your subscription to Gold-Vision Marketing, you may have setup Merge Fields to use within your brand(s).

Images

To upload an image, drag and drop the Image block into your template. The block will then let you access your Asset library where you can upload new images, or select one added previously.

Once your image is added, you can edit the size, action URL and padding using the Content Properties tab on the right-hand side.

Saved Rows

To create a saved row, hover over your block and select the save button. Name your saved row, and click on create.
