Two major options exist for moving your email design (HTML) from Chamaileon to your ESP/CRM or other sending platform.
Sync the email through an integration
Copy-pasting the exported HTML
Depending on your email service provider we strongly recommend using the Sync option for its flexibility. Manual copy-paste might also break the HTML code, use that with care. The Export function gives you the option to export a zipped folder with all assets and email HTML and to simply copy-paste HTML with Chamaileon-hosted images.
Below you will find a step-by-step tutorial.
Sync
First of all, you need to set up an integration with your email service provider.
You can check if Chamaileon has an integration with your Email Service Provider on this page.
After you have the integration set up, you will see that option when you click "Sync" in the email menu.
As an example, I choose Mailchimp.
Add Subject line and preview text, then choose sync type.
Problems with Mailchimp integration! Potential errors can occur when you synchronize your email as a template. We strongly advise you to sync as a campaign to avoid any complications. |
So I choose campaign-type sync.
Once you have done that, choose the list where you want your email design to appear
in Mailchimp. Your Mailchimp lists must appear in a list by their names.
Then you'll see the email Settings screen.
Here you can also set up ''advanced settings'' such as:
email language,
Gmail promotion card,
Outlook-friendly background images,
fully-clickable buttons,
improved accessibility,
and encode URL-s.
Set your options and click Sync!
Next, go to your email service provider where you have synced your email, and your email template will appear there.
And it's ready to be sent out!
Export (HTML)
If your email service provider is not on the list of our integration partners, you can still manually copy-paste the HTML code to your system.
Click the export menu point.
You can choose to ''Copy it to clipboard''.
The HTML will be copied to your clipboard and then you can paste it into your ESP.
For more instructions, you can check this article about pasting the HTML manually.
The other option you can choose is ''Download" the email and assets zipped.
When you click that button, a file with the assets in ZIP format will be downloaded to your computer and then you can import those to your email service provider.
Let us know via chat or email if you have more questions about this.
