Once you’ve created a newsletter template, you may wish to edit or amend the content before sending.
To edit an existing newsletter email template
Login to VIA
In the left hand menu, click the CRM or Lead Manager tab
Click the Newsletter tab
Click the Add button (you may want to clone an existing template you have created as a starting point. If you do, click the search button to see a list of all of your newsletter templates. Right click the relevant template and select Clone)
Enter the following fields:
Name - Give your newsletter template a main title. The title will also be used as the name of the email template when selecting which template to send
Visible - Click the visible box when you want to publish your newsletter. Keeping this box unticked will save it as a draft
Quote - You can add a quote to your newsletter if you wish. You don’t have to use this field, but it will add a quote to your newsletter in a pre formatted way
Quote Author - Attribute your quote to the author. Again, you don’t have to use this field, but it will add the author underneath the quote in a pre formatted way
Month Header - Add the date of the newsletter here. It will add it to your newsletter in a pre formatted way
Media - Images you add here will be added to the top of the newsletter. We recommend you use a letterbox style image or graphic in order for the newsletter to format in the best way, but you can use which ever image you wish to suit your design. Just bear in mind that the image will always be the fill width of the email and the ratio of the image will be maintained so the height will adjust accordingly. We recommend an image size of 1800px x 350px
Property - Add featured properties to your newsletter. This will allow you to add any property from your website to your newsletter. You can add as many or as few properties as you wish. You also don’t have to use this field if you don’t want to display properties in your design
News - Add featured blog articles to your newsletter. Again, you can add as many or as few articles as you wish and you don’t have to use this feature. However, by using your existing website blogs, it allows you to easily add and reuse content for your email marketing, as well as providing content which links back to your website which will boost your SEO
