Navigating to the Configuration

Icon for "Email Campaigns"

Then, select the newsletter you wish to edit from the list that pops up, which will bring you to a page that looks like the one below. Click on the "Configure Template" link on the left:

Available Configuration Options

Name

The name of the newsletter can be modified. This is how it will appear in Base, as well as on the list of newsletters from https://email.domain.com. This will not change the alias of the newsletter.

Alias

The alias is not modifiable and will not update automatically when the name is changed, since the old alias will not redirect to the new one, which will cause any old links to 404.

For example, if a user clicks on the "View Online" link at the top of an old newsletter that was sent out prior to the alias change, they won't be redirected to the new online version of the newsletter.

Further, the template layout and advertisements are all tied to the newsletter alias, so modifying the alias is not recommended.

Description

The description of the newsletter is not required, but is helpful for SEO purposes. Like the name of the newsletter, updating the description here will not update it on the subscribe page. Updates to that page will need to be

name of the newsletter, updating the description here will not update it on the website. Updates to that page will need to be changed internally by emailing [e-mail]

internally by emailing [e-mail]

Pre-Header Blurb

This is a small, optional line of text that appears at the very top of newsletters like so: ("Your personal resource for business success")

Deployment Information - Coming Soon

These fields are how Base knows where to send the newsletter when deploying campaigns. They should not be updated lightly, as incorrect information will affect your ability to deploy the newsletter.

Updating the Header

There are three main styles/templates of headers that the newsletters use, all of which can be modified by selecting the dropdown labeled "Header Image Template"

Image Left 320px

This template allows you to upload an image on the left-hand side of the page. You have the option to set the background color of what displays on the right-side of the page, the color of the date that appears, and the color/style of the social media icons (as well as where they link off to).

Two Images

This speaks for itself. It will not display social icons or a date, and the header background color becomes irrelevant. It is simply two images side-by-side, the left image being 320px wide, 100px tall, and the right being 310px wide, 100px tall. On mobile, the right image will disappear, so only the left image will display.

Image Full 630px

This option takes whatever image is uploaded on the left, and stretches or shrinks it to fit 630px wide. There is no height restriction, so that will be set automatically based on the aspect ratio of the image that's uploaded. Like the "Two Images" template, the background color, date, and social media icons become irrelevant with this option.

Footer Customizations

Any further modifications to the newsletter templates will need to be approved and sent to Base Support for implementation. Documentation on block structure and customization options can be found here.
