Best Practice Tips for Responsive HTML Legacy Email Templates

When building your responsive/mobile HTML email templates, read about best practice tips you should keep in mind.

Mobile Ready Email Templates are available when creating Custom One-Time and Recurring emails. These templates are mobile-ready, but the admin is responsible for ensuring the custom content entered on the Build Email step is mobile-friendly (such as loading Custom Content and/or Community Content items). This includes, for example, setting the maximum number of events that should display in the email or the maximum number of RSS feed items to include.

Three mobile email templates are available in the Build Content step, and each has a selection of corresponding mobile layouts to choose from. These email templates and layouts are in place for all clients, whether your website is mobile-ready or not. All existing content-building tools for creating emails operate the same as with standard emails.
