Creating an email with the EmailBuilder
The easiest and fastest way to create emails in Mailify Sunrise is to go to the EmailBuilder.
This is an email editor with a drag and drop feature to build a message using blocks of content.
Any email created with the Mailify Sunrise EmailBuilder is automatically adapted for mobile reading.
When you choose to create an email via the EmailBuilder, you have several options:
Start from scratch
Start with an empty message (only pre-filled fields for web-copy and unsubscribe link are present by default)
Start from a Mailify template
Dozens of email templates are available for free in Mailify Sunrise. You can choose one of them and customize it with your texts, your images, your colors, etc.

Start from one of your templates
Si vous avez au préalable créé des templates d'emails personnalisés, vous pouvez les retrouver dans l'onglet "Mes Modèles" afin de les réutiliser et de les personnaliser. En survolant l'aperçu de vos modèles, vous pouvez retrouver des informations comme son nom, sa date de création et sa date de dernière modification.
Creating an email from an external file
If you prefer to create your own emails or use an external source, you can select the "Import" "menu and choose the import method of your choice.
Here are the different methods available to you:
File
By choosing import from a file, you can import your HTML file containing your creative.

Manual HTML input
By choosing the "Manual entry" option from the "Import" drop-down menu, you access an HTML code editor so that you can directly write the code source for your message in Mailify.

You then have access to an email editor divided into two parts.
By default, the HTML editor is located on the top and the preview of your content on the bottom.
You can choose to change the layout of these two elements with the email orientation button 
on the right.
By moving the separation bar, you can increase and/or reduce the size of these two parts to fit your comfort.
Import a web page
In the case where your email campaign is stored on an online server, you can choose to import the content by simply entering the URL on which it is hosted.

Enter the URL of your email in the next step.

By choosing this option, you access an HTML code editing screen where you can paste a previously copied code into your clipboard.
Once you have copied your code, click submit. You will then access the same screen as when you choose the manual creation mode.
Creating an email in plain text format
You have the option to create an email in plain text format.
This means that your email will not contain any image, button or formatting. Only a text format will be sent without any possibility of customization.
The plain text email screen is a simple text editor. No formatting tool is available. All you have to do is type your text in the editor.
Only the options for inserting custom fields are available to add dynamic fields.
Advanced options
Depending on the creative mode you choose, some options are available or not above the header of your message.
These options allow you to use advanced settings, add dynamic fields, and perform certain actions on your campaign.
