Sarbacane Campaigns: create an email campaign from an external HTML file

The "HTML File" option, among the creation modes available in Sarbacane Campaigns, offers you the flexibility to customize your emails by importing an external HTML file. This can be useful if you have already created an email template or if you want to integrate content from an existing source.

How to import HTML content to create your email campaign?

When you choose HTML file import as your creation mode, several options are available to you to create your email campaign:

File: Choose the "Import a file" option and select your HTML file containing your creation from your computer. Once imported, your email will be displayed in the Sarbacane Campaigns interface, ready for editing.

Manual HTML Entry: If you prefer to edit the HTML code directly, choose this option. You can write or adjust the source code of your message using the integrated HTML editor.

Import a Web Page: If your email campaign is already hosted online, you can simply enter the URL of the web page where it is located. Sarbacane will import the content of this page for your campaign.

Copy/Paste an HTML Source: For a quicker approach, copy the HTML code of your email from another source, such as an external editor, and then paste it into the Sarbacane Campaigns editor.

Once your HTML content is imported, you can use the Sarbacane Campaigns WYSIWYG editor.

Advanced Configuration with the WYSIWYG Editor

For each email campaign created with the WYSIWYG editor, you have access to the following advanced configuration options by clicking on the “Advanced Configuration” section at the top right of the editor:

Configuration:

Tracking: Enable/Disable tracking options

Unsubscribe List: Define one or more unsubscribe list(s) for your email campaign, offering your recipients the option to unsubscribe if necessary.

Unsubscribe Method: Define here what should happen when a contact clicks on the unsubscribe link of your campaign:

• Be redirected to a standard Sarbacane page confirming the unsubscribe
• Be redirected to a custom unsubscribe form
• Be redirected to a page on your site if you manage unsubscribes via a page external to Sarbacane

Advanced Fields: Enable/Disable the display of advanced fields such as carbon copy in the available fields in the header of your campaign

Add an attachment to your campaign

Properties:

• Add tags to your campaign: this option allows you to categorize your campaigns by channel or theme and filter statistics by tag.
• Sharing: this option allows you to define which users and user groups can have access to your campaign

Content:

Image Hosting: Choose where to store the images in your email: on Sarbacane's servers, on an external server, or directly in the body of the email.

Start from Scratch: If you wish to start your creation from scratch, use this option to reset your ongoing work.

Note that unlike campaigns created with the EmailBuilder, campaigns created with HTML file import and the WYSIWYG editor cannot be saved as templates.
