I'm having a problem with extra spaces appearing at the end of hyperlinked text in emails built in Content Builder. The text I'm hyperlinking has a comma at the end, but I'm not including the comma in the hyperlink (I tried including it to see if it would eliminate the extra space and it did not). When I look at the html code, there is no extra space (see below):

 

Reacting to the bride whose future <a alias="" conversion="false" data-linkto="http://" href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/magazine/2017/10/27/advice-his-mother-tagging-along-their-honeymoon/S5K0BqifLpiTvxOGX9qyHN/story.html" style="color:#127694;text-decoration:underline;" title="">mother-in-law planned to tag along on the honeymoon</a>, readers overwhelmingly said

 

The text looks perfect in Content Builder, but in test sends and actual sends an extra space shows up between the word honeymoon and the comma (and when I included the comma in the hyperlinked text the same space was there and the hyperlink extended through the comma):

 

Reacting to the bride whose future mother-in-law planned to tag along on the honeymoon , readers overwhelmingly said

 

I'm pasting the content as plain text and formatting within Content Builder. I even tried typing it directly in Content Builder without pasting at all and had the same results. Any idea how to fix this?

    I have the same problem today but it also happened to be on a <strong>-Tag like this: 

    <strong>Mahle</strong> becomes "

    Mahle ". Anyone has a solution for this case?

Hi everyone,

We’re currently in the process of setting up Marketing Cloud Advanced and want to create and manage various email templates for our campaigns. However, we’re having trouble finding clear documentation or guidance on:

1. Where to create or manage email templates within Marketing Cloud Advanced.

2. The best practices for designing reusable and dynamic templates.

Any tips, resources, or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Yep, but you can do to the CMS directly (Content > Choose Workspace > +Add Content) and clone an existing Email from there. 

    If creating the Email from a Campaign, there a proposed starting point which you can use (by the way you can changes default images by overwriting them in the CMS, they are called Default...), or can can replace them with a new one. If you previously created the Email from the CMS, as I suggested above, you can use Replace with existing and choose your Email.

Hello All: I need to come up with a way to update a field based on the Conga email template sent and I am stumped. I know you can have the "master field set" on a doc template but not an Conga email template. Here is the scenario: I will have 3-4 email templates to choose from and from those emails I need to set one picklist field a different value for each email template. That field will in turn trigger a different workflow rule. Any ideas?

I have an Approval Process. For first step I am not using any Email Template. But for second step I am using Custom Email Template. Now, How can I insert Approval Link in that Email Template. I have already used {!ApprovalRequest.External_URL} and {!ApprovalRequest.Internal_URL}, It throwing error as shown in image. It saying that, "already Responded" but it was not responded by anyone. I think, It giving link for First step of Approval Process when I use above merge fields. But I need for second step.

 

Is there any way to implement this ?

    What I found is when I looked at the available fields under the Approval object had no Internal or External Links - however I still referenced them in the templates and the Approvals links did show up!

Hi team, I am observing a change in behaviour. When a field {opportunity.Link} is used in email template to include the record link in the email, It worked completely fine. When a partner user clicked on the URL, it would redirect to partner portal page successfully. Till last month it worked fine but this month the URL isn't working and throwing the error. Although the user has access to the record, object and no changes made on the template. May I know if salesforce has introduced anything new related to template URLs? Or is there any other reason?

Hola grupo!

Estoy explorando la funcionalidad de Google Annotations para mis emails , y si bien logré configurar los parámetros y que estos se levanten en el preview tool que nos facilita Google, no estoy muy seguro cuál es la mejor forma de testear el mensaje .

Entiendo que no siempre se renderizará la annotation, pero ¿conocen alguna manera que les haya funcionado para testear?

Gracias !

This is driving us mad that simple spell check functionality is not working when composing emails on Salesforce. I tried to check on Chrome settings and everything looks fine. Is there a hack for this? 

Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you, 

Mit

    Hey 

    My team are experiencing the same issue, this is the workaround I found via the release notes, sorry not the best but better than nothing.   If the user holds down Ctrl when right clicking on a misspelled word they will see the usual spellcheck/browser menu.

UPFC 55487 asked in #Flow

I have an Email template created which I later use in a flow as an Email Action (not an Email Alert). The template uses the merge fields {{{Sender.FirstName}}} {{{Sender.LastName}}}.

 

However, I am not sure how SF is defining who the sender of the email is because in the flow I am sending this email to a lead that is always assigned to USER A. The flow is created by USER B.

 

The email action settings are defined so that the "Sender Email Address" is the owner of the lead (his mail is assigned as an organization wide address).

The name of the sender is coming in okay on the email sent, but the merge field from the Email template are not.

The merge fields is picking up the first name and the user that created the lead and the flow (this is an admin user and the lead creation is with a third party integration).

 

Can this be modified or fixed so that {{{Sender.FirstName}}} {{{Sender.LastName}}} pickup the name of the lead owner? Thank you!

    Hi @Srinivasa Reddy Somu,

    Sorry for the typo, please try like this -

    {{Lead.OwnerFirstName}} {{Lead.OwnerLastName}}

    {{{Recipient.OwnerId.FirstName}}}  --> correct syntax is: {{{Recipient.Owner.FirstName}}}

Interesting request from a user to have a new tab listing Email templates.

What would the rules that may apply to email templates to say that they are bad?

Not used in flows or in workflows?

What else?

    Tabs:

    I would say two different tabs as Classic should phase out at some point and the setup for them are backend vs front end. 

    -There is also the Lighting Builder for Lighting Templates that crosses with Account Engagement. 

     

    The rules we started with to say "is it used?" 

    1. Is the object it referenced used (last created and modified date of the last records)

    2. Is it referenced in any automation, if yes, do we ever hit the criteria of it anymore? 

    If no, we look at the sent tracker but I know this isnt 100% accurate. 

    3. We review for Branding guidelines. Is the logo in the template current or old? 

    4. When was it created, by who, are they still here? 

    5. Who has access to the template. 

     

    Once I have a list of ones that meet the criteria, I start sending it out. We deactivate, wait a period of time for someone to ask where it is, then delete when we are confident it isnt used. 

     

    Permissions:

    I think the tool should see all templates by default as some users create personal email templates that do not meet brand standards. The folder/is it private should be a column so that as an admin I can ID them to be deleted and the user coached if needed. If they are useful, then we can migrate them to something all users can use.
