Paste in HTML to Create a Campaign
This feature requires Author user level or higher.
If you've already designed and coded an HTML email in another program or received HTML from a designer, you can use the Paste in Code feature to create your campaign.
In this article, you’ll learn how to paste HTML code to create a campaign.
Before You Start
Here are some things to know before you begin this process.
- In your HTML code, all images must be hosted on a public server, and all links should be set as absolute paths that point directly to that public server. You can also use the File Manager in your MailChimp account to host your images and insert image URLs into your HTML code.
- This is an advanced feature and is recommended for users familiar with custom coding. Contact your developer, or hire a MailChimp Expert if you need assistance.
