      Purpose​

      This editor makes it possible to edit an email message with limited knowledge of HTML.

      Hint:

      The graphical editor does not completely replace the need for a basic understanding of HTML code. Different email clients display email code differently. It is the responsibility of the person who creates the message to ensure that the HTML code is correct. For this reason, users with no previous knowledge of HTML code are encouraged to work with CMS templates. For more information, see ​CMS Messages​.

      The structure of the email is displayed at the bottom of the editor.

      • - Highlights complex personalization rules in the email.

      •  - Highlights personalization placeholders and Mapp Engage Variables in the email.
