Apr/1/2007
Tradepoint allows you
to create your own Email templates whether you use HTML or text based email
templates. Email templates will be commonly used for:
- Sales
- Customer Communications/Service
- Event Notifications
- Newsletters
- Marketing to Leads
Emails can be created within the HTML writer in the Email
Templates tool. You can also copy/paste HTML or text code into the Email
template and the Email will be saved automatically. Any graphical elements
within your Email templates that are in the HTML code that you Copy/Paste will
automatically generate within the Email template you generate.
The Email Template window is very simple with the tool bar
at the top to build your Email templates in a Word based format and the tabs at
the bottom that will allow you to build your email templates using text or html
language to do so.
The image below shows an HTML Template that has been
copied and pasted into the Email Template tool in Tradepoint.

The tool bar highlighted in the top of the image has tools
for formatting and bringing in images into your Email templates. The Design and
Source tabs are circled at the bottom of the window.You are seeing the Design
view in this image.
Editing can happen in the Design
view(what you are seeing) as well as in the Source view of the Email template.
This is the easiest way to edit an update your Email templates.
The window view below shows the
Source tab. This view will show the HTML code for any
email templates that are built. Even if your emails will be text only. The Email
template writer will build in any HTML code necessary for that
templates.

You can make edits directly within the HTML you see
including things like:
- Changing color of text, borders and backgrounds
- Adding text and content

pages
The Email template tool will allow you to build from
scratch or copy/paste existing email templates easily. Full
graphics capabilities exist as well as the ability to embed links to web
