Campaign Monitor & Support
Blocs includes special template files to take full advantage of Campaign Monitor visual editor tags for easy editing and full control over order and placement of content blocks.
This theme includes support for basic MailChimp merge tags. Edit text and images. Show, hide, and duplicate content blocks.
Compatibility
These templates have been tested with Litmus in all the major online and desktop email clients as well as major browsers. Mobile tested on Android, iPhone, and iPad. Blocs can be sent out via email programs or online services which support importing/editing HTML code (these include Constant Contact, iContact, Mozilla Thunderbird and many others).
Ticket uses media queries to display properly on tablets and smart phones. The Gmail App for iOS and Android does not support media queries as a result some mobile features of Ticket will not work properly on Gmail for iOS or Android.
Outlook does not support background images, a solid background color will be shown instead.
