UpMail’s Custom Table option enables users to add custom tables into email templates. As a basic user these tables will likely already be set into the templates you are using.
How to Add Custom tables to Emails & Templates
To add a Custom table, go to the email composer page of the template you want to edit. Duplicate a section or select the edit/pencil option for the section you want to add the table to.
Click on Tables and a table icon will appear.
Once the table has been added, you can move the table up or down or delete the table by clicking the pencil icon next to the section and selecting the options on the right.
How to Edit Custom Tables
To edit a Custom Table, click on the section where the table is located then select ‘Edit Table’ on the right.
You will enter edit mode where you can configure the table. If you hover over the icons at the top, it will indicate the action. Within the table editor you can:
- Add/delete columns and rows
- Change the font and background colours
- Adjust the width/height of the columns and rows
- Change the alignment of the text
- Add hyperlinks, number lists, bullet points and emoticons
- Undo and redo actions
If you right click on the table, a shortcut menu will appear.
You can also copy and paste a table into the editor if you have an existing table that you would like to use. Once you’ve pasted it into the table editor you can edit it further from there.
Note that you can add merge fields into the tables if you would like the fields to prepopulate from the Standard Recipient Fields, Sales & Catering Booking Fields or UpMail User Fields.
Once you are done updating your table, click ‘Update’ and the table will appear within your template.
To edit the table moving forward, you will always need to click on the section within the email template and click Edit Table on the right. You will not be able to edit the table directly within the body of the email.
