This article outlines how to import HTML from a zip file into the email marketing system.
-
Log into the email marketing account
-
Go to Messages from the top navigation bar
-
Click New Message from the options on the left
-
The template selection screen will appear - from the options at the bottom of that screen, choose 'Create HTML Only Email'
-
When the editor loads, click the small blue HTML icon from the toolbar at the top
-
Now, open your zip file and double click on the file called 'Index' (or whichever is your HTML file)
-
When the file has opened in your internet browser, right click somewhere around the email content
-
Choose the option that says 'View Page Source'
-
Copy all of the code (Ctrl + A and then Ctrl + C)
-
Go back to your email marketing account where you have the HTML window open in your email editor from step 5 above
-
Paste in the code you just copied (Ctrl + V)
-
Click the green 'Update' button
-
Now you'll have the email in your editor, with blank spaces for the images
-
Click once on the area where the hero / header image goes - this will select the area
-
Now click the Image icon from the toolbar at the top of the email editor (this is the icon on the top row at the far right)
-
From the window that opens, click the Change File option next to the save button - this opens the file manager
-
Click the green Upload button at the bottom of the file manager
-
Browse for the files in the 'Image' folder of your Zip file, or drag and drop them in to upload them
-
Once the images are uploaded, click on the Hero image file from the file manager

This should open the hero image in the preview window - click the green Insert button
-
Repeat this process for the footer image and any other images in your email

Update necessary information in the body of the email by typing directly in the required areas
