Note

  • Content blocks are not supported in the Inbox preview in Email campaigns.
  • URLs that are added in content blocks and used in SMS cannot be tracked.
  • You cannot archive content blocks used in active event-triggered and periodic campaigns because there is no option to stop these active campaigns. You can archive these content blocks only after the expiry of such campaigns.

You can use your content blocks in two ways:

    This means that only the content will be inserted while detaching itself from the existing content block, and no future updates will be reflected.
  5. Click Done to insert the content block.
