Upload HTML Code to Create an Email (new Email Composer)

You can manually enter or upload previously created HTML code directly in the new Email Composer to create an email or email template. Functions include a side-by-side code editor and live preview, and when uploading HTML the code is automatically optimized by improving line breaks and indentation for easier readability. Standard features, such as personalization, inserting links, accessing the image library, and configuring email settings, are also available.
