Getting started with email templates
When creating an email, you’ll be presented with three options:
Design from Scratch
Use a Template
Import HTML
This article walks you through how to create, edit, and delete email templates.
Creating, editing and deleting an email template
Go Messaging and click the Templates tab.
Select Create.
Enter a name and description for your template.
Design your email using the email builder.
Check out this help article for guidance on how to navigate and build an email using the editor.
When finished, click Save as new template
Your new template will now appear under the Template section in the email builder. At any time, you can click the ⠇ menu icon next to the template to edit, rename, or delete it.
Using templates while designing an email from scratch
If you start with "Design from Scratch" but change your mind, you can still access your saved templates anytime using the Template drop-down in the builder.
If you're designing an email from scratch and want to reuse it in the future, simply click the Template drop-down and select "Save as new template" to add it to your saved library.
How to transfer an email template to another account
First, duplicate the email.
Open the duplicated email and send a test email to your email address.
Save as HTML file - check out: How to save an email as HTML.
Login to the other Audience Republic account.
Go to Messaging > Create a New email.
Click Import HTML (Upload it as an HTML file) - check out: How to import an HTML email.
Then exit to Save as an email
How to Create an Email with Anchor Links Using HTML
Step 1: Set Up a Target Object
The first step is to create the spot in your email where the anchor link will take your reader. You can do this by adding a div element with a unique id attribute.
Example:
<div id="section"> <!-- Your content goes here --> </div>
Here, the id="section" acts as the target location. When a reader clicks an anchor link pointing to this id, they’ll be taken directly to this section.
Step 2: Create the Anchor Link
There are a few different HTML elements you can use as anchor links:
Text links:
<a href="#section">Jump to Section</a>
Buttons (styled links):
<a href="#section" style="padding:10px 20px; background:#007BFF; color:#fff; text-decoration:none; border-radius:5px;">Go to Section</a>
Images:
<a href="#section"><img src="button-image.png" alt="Go to Section"></a>
Each of these will take the reader to the div element with the matching id.
Step 3: Save and Reuse the Template
Once you’ve set up your target and links, save the email as a reusable template. In this example, I saved mine as “Anchor Link Template.”
This makes it easy to use anchor links in future campaigns without rebuilding everything from scratch.
Step 4: Test and Send
Before sending your email, make sure to test it. Preview the email and click on each anchor link to confirm it takes you to the correct section.
When you’re satisfied, go ahead and send your email!
Try It Yourself
Anchor links can make your emails more user-friendly, especially for longer messages. Give it a try by creating your own anchor link email and experimenting with different link types (text, buttons, images).
