    Media Queries

    Media Queries are a CSS3 module that allows the way content is rendered to be adapted by applying conditions to elements such as screen resolution.

    For example, a landscape view on an iPhone 4 and lower is 480px. Using a media query we can specify a particular set of styles to be implemented when your email is opened on this device.

  • In some of your emails you may set a background colour, such as a dark grey, which displays correctly in the editor, yet will not display in outlook or some other email clients. There is a reason why this is happening and this article will explain why and how to fix this.

    How to embed images

    Commercial e-mail messages often contain images, graphics and other design elements. When a message is sent in the HTML format, images used in the message body can be either linked or embedded.

    Linked images are not part of the message itself. They are usually hosted by the message sender and referenced in the message body via an <IMG> tag pointing to the sender's server, as follows:

    <img src="http://www.communigatormail.co.uk/Instances/supporttestinglz/images/_GatorTraining/companylogo.gif">

    Unlike linked images, embedded images are part of the message itself. An embedded image is also referenced in a message body using an <IMG> tag, but also contains an ID, as follows:

    <img src="http://www.communigatormail.co.uk/Instances/supporttestinglz/images/_GatorTraining/companylogo.gif" id="EMBEDIMAGE">

    A message with embedded images can be viewed off-line and remains intact over time, as images are permanently attached to the body.

  • An important aspect of 'best practice' email design is to try to keep the use of images to a minimum. This helps to reduce spam scores and also makes the email 'lighter,' which again helps ensure that it does not get sent to a spam folder. If you use images to separate different sections of your email, then this code will really benefit you, as it means you won't need to use an image, all you need is a snippet of HTML. Don't worry though - you don't need any coding experience, and we have laid out exactly what you need to do in the guide below. 

  • This Article will walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to redirect a landing zone to a document.

    A good example of how to use this functionality would be setting up an LZ notification to inform you when someone has clicked on a particularly valuable link.
