The Last browsed block uses our Web behavior tracking tool to collect data of what products your contacts have been looking at on your store. You can target your contacts with email campaigns that highlight the products they last browsed.

Using the Last browsed block to build a campaign can have many advantages:

  • Increased personalisation
    Make your email campaigns more relevant and personalised, increasing the chances of the contact engaging with your email and completing a purchase.

  • Improved engagement
    Improve engagement and increase the chance of contacts becoming repeat customers.

  • Increased conversions
    Increase the chances of customers completing a purchase by reminding them of products they have already shown an interest in.

  • Better ROI
    Increase the return on investment by targeting customers who are potentially more likely to convert.

  2. For Number of rows, choose the number of rows of products you want to display.

  3. For Number of products per row, choose the number of products you want to display in each row.

  2. In the left-side panel, expand the Fields menu.

  3. Select the check box for any of the fields you want to show in your block.

Analytics

You can add tracking information to your Last browsed block. This allows you easily tell if users have visited your site from a product in your campaign.

Tracking information can be added using any of the UTM parameters you have set up in your account. If you have set link tracking at a campaign-specific level, you see the campaign-level tracking parameters. Otherwise, you see your default, account-level parameters.

To add UTM tracking parameters:

  1. On the EasyEditor canvas, select the Last browsed block.

  2. In the side panel, expand the Analytics menu.

  3. To apply your default tracking values to links in the product block, select the Reset to defaults checkbox.

  4. To change the values applied to your tracking parameters for links in your product block, clear the Reset to defaults checkbox, and enter the values you want to use in each text field.


Button and border settings

The Button settings let you add a button to the products on your product block; you can style these to match your template.

To display and edit the button:

  1. Expand the Button settings left-side menu.

  2. To display a button for each product, select the Display button checkbox.

  3. To style the button, select BUTTON.

  4. Edit the styling of your button exactly as you want it. There are four main button styling fields:

    • Colour: Choose a background colour for your button. Either enter a Hex color code or select the paint can icon to choose a colour within the campaign, a custom colour, or use the color picker.

    • Alignment: Expand the drop-down menu and choose to align your button to the left, centre, right, or make it full-width.

    • Padding: Allows you to enter the amount of space you want around the button. Use the Horizontal and Vertical input fields to enter the number of pixels of padding you want for your button.

    • Minimum width: Define the smallest width of the button without breaking the layout. Minimum width is helpful to ensure that your button always has a certain width, regardless of the content inside.

      Enter the minimum width in pixels to determine the minimum width of your button.

  5. To style the border of your button, select BORDERS.

  6. Edit the styling of your border exactly as you want it. There are four main border styling fields:

    • Colour: This is the colour of the border around your button. Either enter a Hex color code or select the paint can icon to choose a colour within the campaign, a custom colour, or use the color picker.

    • Border width: Border width refers to the thickness of the border around the button. In the Border width box, enter the number of pixels you want for your button border width.

    • Border radius: Border radius refers to the curvature of the corners of the button. In the Border radius box, enter the number of pixels of border-radius you want.

  7. If you need to customise your button further, select MANAGE BUTTON STYLES. In this side panel, you can choose a custom style or make more detailed customisations for the text.

Text style

You can style the text for the data you show in your product block. Select the text in your product block to style it. You can use the text toolbar to change the style, font, size, and colour.
