Can I upload HTML for my campaign design?

Can I upload HTML for my campaign design?

Yes. If you have an email designed outside of Delivra, you can upload it directly into your campaign using the Start from Upload option in the Design step.

Once uploaded, your HTML will open in a visual editor where you can make quick updates to text, links, and other content before sending.

How to Upload an HTML File

  1. Navigate to the Campaigns dashboard from the left-hand navigation.
  2. Open an existing draft campaign by clicking Edit, or create a new campaign using the Create Campaign button in the top-right corner.
  3. Complete the Setup step — enter your campaign name, subject line, and other required fields — then click Save and Next to proceed to the Design step.


  4. On the Design step, select Start from Upload.
  5. A file upload window will appear. Either click Browse to locate your .html file, or drag and drop the file directly into the upload area.


  6. Click OK. Your HTML file will load in the visual editor.


  7. Use the visual editor to make quick updates, such as editing text or links. When you are done, click Save and Next to continue to the Contacts step.
Info
The visual editor is designed for quick updates to content you have already coded and finalized, such as editing text or links. It is not a full design environment. If you need to make significant structural changes, update your HTML file externally and re-upload it.


What You Can Do in the Visual Editor

After uploading your HTML, the visual editor gives you a lightweight editing environment for making updates without touching code. Common tasks include:

  • Editing text content directly on the page

  • Updating hyperlinks

  • Reviewing how the email looks before sending

  • Making final copy changes before scheduling


Info
The visual editor is a lightweight editor. It is not the same as Delivra’s drag-and-drop email designer. Complex structural changes, such as modifying layout, adding new sections, or replacing images should be made in your external HTML editor before uploading.


Notes

  1. Only .html files are supported for upload.
  2. Once you upload an HTML file, your campaign will use the visual editor rather than the drag-and-drop designer for that campaign.
  3. If you need to start over with a different design, you can restart the Design step and select a new starting option.
  4. Images referenced in your HTML must be hosted at a publicly accessible URL. Delivra does not host images embedded in uploaded HTML files unless they are uploaded separately to your Assets library and referenced by URL.
  5. Uploaded HTML campaigns go through the same campaign workflow as any other campaign — Setup, Design, Contacts, Preview, Test, and Schedule.
