The built-in editor allows you to:

In alternative, you can work in another application, such as Adobe Dreamweaver or similar, and then copy & paste the HTML code directly in the Code view of the built-in editor.

To personalize your email message insert dynamic fields. Dynamic fields retrieve any information (personal info, preferences, e-commerce data) stored on your list.

For example, if your recipient list contains the first names of your recipients you can insert the [First Name] dynamic field as "Dear [First Name]" in the salutation of the email and each recipient will view their first name in the email, such as "Dear John".
