Email designer features template properties

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by ffaller 65 User Group Leader

Hello,

I've been designing in different templates to explore the properties in the designer that seem to be different per template provided from MS. 
To try to get similar features in my templates, I've been modifying the HTML, to no luck. Any suggestions?

My first priority is getting background colour.

    Hi ffaller,

    You should add custom attribute tags in your marketing email HTML source code to support more properties.

    (Some default templates have added these attributes so more properties are visible.)

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/marketing/custom-template-attributes

    E.g 1: To make hero image properties appear, please add following code to the source code:

    E.g 2: Add inner and outer background:

    Regards,

    Clofly

    I have been modifying the html before creating this post, but it did not reflect in the properties.
    But after some saves and hard refresh I did get it reflected in the properties pane, but it had no impact on my template visually. 


    Any other suggestions?

    Hi,

    Because even if you had added attribute tag, you need aslo assign the attribute to corresponding element.

    In you screenshot, you might had added "<meta datatype="color" label="Outer Background" name="outer-background" type="xrm/designer/setting" value="#7fb239">" in your html code,

    then you should insert a css rule in style tag:(outer background is body element background-color)

    Then it'll always reflect in template visually.

    (Even if the color hex code is static here, but once we have added them, it'll change dynamically based on color picker in properties.)

    Regards,

    Clofly

    Thanks, I was just missing a semicolon in my CSS... :)

    Easier to see after asking for help than before!
