How To Create Email Templates For Your AccessAlly Emails

How It Works

There are two types of “templates” that you can use to speed up your email creation process:

• Shared blocks – these are elements (like a header or footer) which can be easily added to any email type. The benefit to using shared blocks is that you can update your logo, for example, in a single location, instead of having to manually update it in every email that you have set up in your site.
• Import/Export – You can export/import entire emails that are created inside AccessAlly. This can be helpful if you have multiple AccessAlly sites and would like to re-use the same emails across all of them.
