In the Block Editor, Code Snippets are very important when sending an email through ClickDimensions. We provide two code snippets:
It is currently not possible to create new Email Sends/Templates using this editor, and as part of our continuing plans to deprecate the Block editor, cloning Email Sends/Templates using the Block Editor while on version 12.1+ will automatically update their editor type to the Freestyle editor.
From version 12.2, this will be released to and applied automatically to all versions as we move to fully deprecate the old editors.
- Unsubscribe: Inserts a global unsubscribe link in your email.
- Microsite / HTML Version: Inserts a link that opens the email in a browser window.
Goals
- Learn how to add Unsubscribe and Microsite code snippets to a Block Editor template
- Dynamics 365
You can insert the Code Snippets using the drop down arrow on the Code Snippet button in the top toolbar.
Or, if you're using the Block Editor, you can use the Unsubscribe and Microsite blocks which will stay at the bottom and the top respectively by clicking on the Page button.
If your readers are not able to view the email in their email client, they can open the email in a browser window by clicking the link provided by the Microsite / HTML Version code snippet. These Microsite links will remain active for 90 days.
NOTE: The Microsite is not currently available in the CAN Data Center.
The Unsubscribe code snippet provides the link that allows the recipient to unsubscribe from all emails sent through ClickDimensions.
If you right click on the link in the snippet and choose Properties, you'll notice that the URL is actually a script, ${Gears.unsubscribe()}. [It says ${Gears.microsite()} for the Microsite / HTML version.]
If you need to move the snippets around in your template, make sure that you do not copy or cut and paste. That will ruin the URL script. Just delete and reinsert the script. In this dialog, you can also change the link text to something other than "here" if you'd like. The rest of the text in the snippet is just normal text, so you can edit that to say whatever you'd like it to say. When someone clicks on the Unsubscribe snippet in an email they are universally unsubscribed from all emails sent by you through ClickDimensions.
You must have either the unsubscribe link or the Subscription Preferences Link in your email if you are sending it to more than 500 people.
