Email Shortcodes

Bulk emails can use shortcodes to create styles, layouts or embed images.

Your shortcodes are customisable. We’ve created a couple for you to get started:

• img – insert an image
• centered – center part or all of your email into a 600px wide column

How to use a shortcode

To insert an image, use [img]https://link-to-image[/img].
If you are using the [centered] shortcode, you need to restrict images to no wider than your centered column. We can create a shortcode which will limit your image width so you don’t have to modify your existing images.

One important guideline: don’t put a shortcode on its own line. That will insert spurious paragraph marks which breaks the HTML code.

How do shortcodes differ from Tokens?

Tokens allow you to bring in information that is either

• stored in a Configuration Item or
• is a field in the database record related to the email, e.g. a booking, or a member record, or a transaction in the ledger.

Shortcodes allow you to inject HTML formatting so you can control how your email will look when it is read.
