Act-On email messages can be based on templates for content and layout. You can create your own templates to meet your branding needs. For a new template, create the HTML and plain text versions in your favorite editor then upload them to your Act-On account.

- Click Upload Code.
- Customize your text, and click OK
- There is also an option to test any links you may have and to insert some common personalization variables
- You can now preview the message in the message wizard. If changes need to be made, simply click on the block containing your text and edit it.
