How to Use the HTML Email Editor

Admins can now use the HTML email editor to customize email templates that are automatically sent to their merchants and their consumers. 

1. To begin, you would first have to make sure that you are only using English in your marketplace as a language.

2. You can then click on 'Email Notifications' > 'Email Template'. You should then click on 'Enable'

3. Next, click on enable any email you would like to edit.

You can begin editing the HTML, Sent From, BCC, CC, and Subject fields of every email. You can also choose to deactivate any particular email.

4. A neat trick to generate fancy HTML for emails would be to use a third-party email provider (e.g. Mailchimp)

(i) Create a template from Mailchimp & edit it:

(ii) Save the email, generate HTML from MailChimp (it is an option on the left of the template):

(iii) Open the HTML template you have downloaded and inspect the code (right-click on Google Chrome):

(iv) Go to 'Sources', click on the email file, and copy all the HTML code

(v) Go back to the email editor and paste it in:

5. Make sure that you change all necessary dynamic text to reflect Arcadier's code:

6. Change the 'Sent From' if necessary, for example, if you would like it sent from you, the admin, instead of merchants, change it from {{SellerEmail}} to {{AdminEmail}}.

7. Change the Email Subject if necessary, for example, you can add a consumer's first name into it by adding {{ConsumerFirstName}}.

8. Change the CC/BCC if necessary, for example, if you would like to be notified every time a consumer comes onto the site, you can do so by adding your own email address.
