  • Make sure clickable links and form actions use absolute URLs. All href anchor values are replaced with tracking links by default. To prevent a link from being replaced by a tracking link, add the parse="no" attribute to your anchor tag. For example:
• The {unsub_url} token can be used where you want the unsubscribe URL to be placed in the content.

Plain Content

• Optionally, enter the Plain Text Content of the email to enable your partners to send multi-part emails. This content must not contain HTML.
