Adding a content block

Adobe Campaign offers a list of pre-configured content blocks. These content blocks are dynamic, personalized and have a specific rendering. For example, you can add a greeting or a link to the mirror page.

Note:

The images below show how to insert a content block using the Email Designer for an email.

To add a content block:

Click inside a text block, click the Personalize icon from the contextual toolbar and select Insert content block . For more on the Email Designer interface, see this section.

Select the content block that you would like to insert. The blocks available vary depending on the context (email or landing page).

Click Save .

The name of the content block appears in the editor and it is highlighted in yellow. It will automatically adapt to the profile when the personalization is generated.

The out-of-the-box content blocks are:

Database URL in emails (EmailUrlBase): This content block can only be used in a delivery.

Mirror page URL (MirrorPageUrl): This content block can only be used in a delivery.

Link to mirror page (MirrorPage): This content block can only be used in a delivery.

Landing page : The content block can only be used in a landing page.

You can select the Depends on format option to define two different blocks for HTML emails and those that are in text format. Two tabs will then be displayed in the editor (HTML and Text) to define the corresponding contents.

Enter the content of the content block(s), and click the Create button.

Your content block can now be used in the content editor of a delivery or a landing page.
