Campaign Email Template Link "View this email in your browser"

Does anyone know if it is possible to view a campaign email in the recipients browser? We have created a custom template, but in order for the link to work it needs a custom url. Does this mean we would have to host the email in a web browser as well? A sample image has been included below.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

  • Hi Dan,

    This doesn't exist in the Campaigns module of Sugar Pro/Ent. Rather than customise to add the function in, I'd suggest looking at more fully featured email service providers - reason being that if this is the first thing you customise to extend the Campaigns module, you'll commit yourself deeper down that path, and at the point when you really should be using something else, you'll be feeling a lot of "sunk cost" type feelings.

    Depending upon your needs, you've got a variety of options, e.g. for simple "batch and blast", using MailChimp (with the SugarChimp integration) is a pretty low cost solution. If you're looking at more automated means of managing engagement with your customers, Sugar Market is an option too.

    Generally, I'd suggest keeping things simple to begin with.

    Regards,

    Adam

  • Thank you both, I suspect we will move to a marketing automation tool in the future. We are heavily reliant on custom target lists for campaigns so any solution will need to take those into consideration. Do you have any idea if MailChimp allows the use of targets lists for the emailing purposes?
