Designing and import templates from Photoshop

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi there,

My company very soon is going to start using marketo and I'm the graphic designer that will have a few tasks on it.

On my previous job we used Adobe Business catalysts, mailchimp and dotmailer. I remember I could design the newsletters for example on Photoshop slicing into sections and then upload everything (html code and images) into those email marketing platforms. On Marketo I can see we can design or use the existing templates and basically just change the text or images, like the rest of the platforms. My questions are:

1. Can I design the newsletters on Photoshop and then upload everything (html & images) into Marketo knowing that will not be possible to edit?!

2. Can I design the newsletters on Photoshop with blank text boxes in certain sections of the newsletter so I can add on Marketo so the text could be editable?

Thank you,

Elson Castro

Hi Elson

The case 1 is not to be done through a template but with an email. Create an email using a blank template, then in the email, use the "edit HTML" menu entry to access the email HTML editor and paste your code from Photoshop.

The case 2 is about creating your own template. This doc article might help you: Email Template Syntax - Marketo Docs - Product Documentation
