Hi,
Is it possible to clone/copy email templates in Dynamics 365 for Marketing? We need to make small modifications to templates for different languages, but can't seem to find a place to easily copy a template.
The only way i have found is to create an email send from the original template and there save as a new template, but that also creates an email send record that we don't need.
Any ideas?
Best regards, Vivian
Hi again Rean.
You can read about add tags here docs.microsoft.com/.../custom-template-attributes
Hi,
Yes when you add a template from another system you need to add “tags” in your HTML so that you can use the template in dynamic marketing. You can read about how in Microsoft docs. You also need to open the text, image and buttons with this tags. It takes a lot of work If you are not familiar with HTML. But when you are done your template will work in dynamic marketing.
Hi Vivian
Have you found that when you do this (operation to clone an existing template) that the Toolbox pane on the right disappears?
We are busy migrating MailChimp templates to Dynamics 365 Marketing. So we're copying and pasting the HTML (and updating links to images etc.).
But the email template itself, as well as emails created from these custom email templates, do not present the Toolbox pane on the right.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Rean
Hi Vivian,
- From sitemap/navigation area, go to templates and select marketing email templates.
- you will get a view of all active templates
- open the template you want to clone
- goto HTML tab and copy the HTML
- click on new record and goto HTML tab and paste the template.
- Now you have successfully cloned a template without creating an email record
Hi Vivian,
Other than what you have described, you could also create a template and then create reusable content blocks for all of the language changes. Then you could create new emails by simply replacing the blocks. As you can see from the attached, I created a template and then replaced the top information using the content blocks and then manually changed the subject line for language as well.
You might want to add this as a feature request, please visit the Ideas Portal and add it so it can be voted up. We regularly review these and plan based on popularity.
