I wanted to show how this could be expanded and used in some different ways, so I created a second document that operates more like an email list with personalized input variables.
Gmail Pack HTML Mailing List - [TEMPLATE]
Copy the doc to try it out!
- I simplified the bottom of the email by consolidating all closing tags into the “Footer” element.
- I added a column for a Send Email button to the [Send To…] table. Then I changed the Send Email button to a “Push Button” that pushes all the column buttons if they are active. This allows for the personalization on a per email and customer basis.
- You’ll also see “tags” or “placeholders” for these personalized variables. You can use the placeholders however you want in your email content and RegexReplace() will swap them with the relevant variables from your table.
There are some other small changes from the original template that to make the sending of individualized emails easier and to allow this to be built on and customized later.
You can add things like Categories or Groups to the [Send To…] table if you want to create separate or filtered email lists. That’s just one idea of how this can be expanded.
Give it a try and let me know if this helps for personalization.
