How to upload your email templates?

This article shows how to correctly upload HTML email templates on the Dashboard from a ZIP file.

If you want to use your own email templates, you can directly import them on your Batch dashboard.

Prerequisities

Before you upload your file, you need to create your own HTML email template. Whether you create your templates yourself or use an e-mail builder, your file must be a single compressed ZIP file containing:

  • A single HTML file saved as "index.htm(l)" or "mail.html" (with a maximum size of 512kb)

  • A single image folder containing all the images of your e-mail template saved as "images"

💡 Depending on your operating system, compress the file selecting both elements ("index.html file" (or mail.html) + "images" folder")

For example, here is how it goes on macOS:
