We always suggest using our EasyEditor to build your emails. It provides an easy and effective way to craft beautiful campaigns. If you're uploading HTML code created in third-party software, we're not able to guarantee it'll look exactly the same once uploaded to our EasyEditor.

If you do use a custom-coded template, you need some link placeholders to enable certain types of system link in your campaigns. Here are the most common ones:

Code

What is it?

https://$UNSUB$

Unsubscribe link

https://$CANTREAD$

View in browser

https://$OPTINLINK$

Double opt-in link

https://$PREFCENTRE$

Preference centre link

If you upload HTML code without an unsubscribe link included, you'll receive a Campaign save error. If you get this error, you must include https://$UNSUB$ (an unsubscribe link) in your HTML code and save again.
