Creating email templates with mytokens

[Hank_Hansen]

Since mytokens can't be accessed in the Design Studio (they're in Marketing Activities), is there a best practice for creating and managing email templates that use mytokens?

Hi Hank,

The way to make sure that the token will always be present is to create these tokens at the top level folders in the Marketing activities.

Yup - I have them there.

What's the method for creating email templates in the Design Studio with mytokens? Do I manually enter them rather than choosing from the token select list? Or do I save an email with mytokens as a template when I'm in Marketing Activities?

Hi Hank,  I would say that you need to include the code on your template in the design studio.

[Hank_Hansen]

That's a drag - so you have to manually copy/paste (or type) the mytoken code into the email template within the design studio.

[Grégoire_Miche2]

Yes, unfortunately, there is no other way.

OK - I'll just keep a blank email loaded with what I need in Marketing Activities and clone it as needed.

I'd agree this is what we do.
