In Synerise, you can create an email template in two types of editors: [code editor](/docs/campaign/e-mail/creating-email-templates/email-code-editor) (allows you to create an email template as a user-friendly configuration form) and visual builder. If you already have templates prepared, you can [import them to Synerise](/docs/campaign/e-mail/importing-email-templates) in a `.zip` file or from a URL address. Predefined email templates are sorted into two folders: - Predefined dynamic templates - This folder contains templates that include Jinjava - Predefined simple templates ## Requirements --- You must be granted permissions to access **Email** and to create templates. ### Tips before you start --- - You can create an email template directly while sending an email. However, because of the approval procedure, it is more convenient to create a template and have it approved before defining the settings while sending an email as it speeds up the process of creating the email. - While creating the template, save your template once in a while because there is no auto-save option. - To include [tracking parameters](/developers/web/user-identification#recognizing-customers-from-link-parameters) and [UTM and link parameters](/docs/campaign/e-mail/creating-email-campaigns#define-utm-and-url-parameters) in the links in a template: - **Template contains only static links** No action required. The tracking parameters will be added automatically. - **Template contains links generated using Jinjava** Wrap the link with the [{% preparelink %}{% endpreparelink %} insert](/developers/inserts/email#adding-utm-and-tracking-parameters-to-links) - Although Synerise automatically adds [the unsubscribe header](/docs/campaign/e-mail/unsubscribe-link), always add the resignation link to the template - without it, the emails may reach the spam folder. - You can use [email inserts](/developers/inserts/email) to not only personalize the contents of the message but also to add such features as tracking click events and UTM parameters to redirecting URLs, or opening a message in the browser - The **View in browser** link doesn't work in the preview. You must send a test email to test such links.

We do not recommend adding a **View in browser** link to templates that contain a reference to Automation event context (`event.params.{paramName}`) because previewing such messages is not supported.

In the template editor, click Preview contexts, enter a customer profile ID, and click Apply to see the email rendered with that customer's actual data. Alternatively, use the Test section in the campaign creation form to send a test email to yourself or a colleague before the campaign goes live. ### How to remove the default Synerise parameters from links in emails? The Synerise parameters are automatically added to your links in the email template for the purposes of collecting statistics. When you want to remove them, add the following parameter to a chosen link or links in the email template: `?withoutRedirect=1` For example: `http://example.com/?withoutRedirect=1` This option allows you to skip Synerise parameters for a particular link.

Removing the Synerise parameters from a link results in the lack of statistics on clicking this particular link.

### How to redirect to a custom landing page after clicking a resignation link? To modify the link in `{{synerise-resign-link}}`: 1. Access the settings [here](https://app.synerise.com/old-settings/mail/account). 2. Next to the email account you use, click

. 3. In the **Resignation link** field, paste the URL of your custom landing page. ### Can I optimize sending time for an individual user while sending an email campaign? No. Send-time optimization in Experience Hub calculates the best time for the entire audience, not per individual. For per-customer send-time optimization, create a workflow in Automation Hub and add an [Optimize Time node](/docs/automation/flow-control/optimize-time).
