Text templates:
These text templates make it possible and easy when you are creating new types of communications for your events. These texts will automatically be there so that you will only have to make small adjustments if needed.
In this article, we will talk about adding/editing a (new) design template.
If you have access to the feature "Advanced templates", you will have more design options than mentioned below. You can read more about the advanced options in the article about advanced design templates.
To create a new one, click on the “+” on the right-hand side.
When you have clicked on the “+” on the right-hand side to create a new design template, you will get the following steps:
Step 1 - General: name
Choose a name for your template (mandatory).
If you have custom domains, you will have the possibility to choose a custom domain. (Click on the following link to go to this separate article for more details: “Custom domains"). If a custom domain is selected, every event using this design template will now make use of your custom domain. This means that your custom domain will be used for every link in the emails of your events, that uses this specific template.
Step 2 - Header: language and logo
You can upload a different image for every selected language or use it for all languages. You can set a background color behind the image and choose the aligment of the image (left, center or right). You can also choose to enable full width if you want the image to cover the full header width. The recommended size for a full-width image is 1200px in width and 150px in height. Filesize can be max 2MB and jpeg, jpg and png are possible.
Tip: When you upload an image, you will see the option “Use this image for all languages.” We recommend selecting this option if you want the same logo to appear in every language. This way, you don’t need to upload the logo separately for each language.
Note: This option is only visible after uploading the file and before saving your changes. The same applies when uploading a header image.
Step 3 - Banner: language, banner for webpages and banner for emails
You can upload a different banner for every selected language or use the same image for all languages. This banner will be the default one to use in your communication. It can be changed on event level. Filesize can be max 2MB. Recommended width is 1200px and 400px in height.
Step 4 - Content
You can choose the background color and text color of the titles and body text and choose a font family for both.
Step 5 - Buttons: language, colors and labels
You can change the button's background color, text color and border color. You can add a different design for full and hollow buttons.
You can change the text labels of your buttons for your selected language(s) if you so desire. The changes you make here for button labels will be used for all the events where this design template is used.
Step 5: Footer: webpage footer and mail footers
You can add a different footer for webpages and for emails or you can add the same footer to both. Before you can add a footer, you'll have to create one in the footer tab first. (Click on the following link to go to this separate article for more details: “Footers").
=> Now click on “Finish” and you have created your design template. You can always edit this template if you forgot to add something.
Tip: Don't forget to create a template in all of your languages. You can switch between the language versions by changing the selected language.
