Seeing your whole email in the browser with Webview
Webview opens an email as a web page in a new browser tab. It shows the whole email as it was last saved, so it's the quickest way to check a long email from top to bottom, or to show it to someone who isn't on your mailing list.
When your test email is cut off
Some inboxes, Gmail especially, shorten a long email and end it with a link such as "View entire message". Nothing is wrong with your email. Everything after that point is still there, and a contact who clicks the link sees the rest.
Open the email in Webview to check the whole design at once. If you'd rather nobody has to click through, make the email shorter: fewer empty lines between paragraphs, fewer blocks, or less text per section.
Where to find it
- Campaigns: go to Marketing, then Campaigns, open the campaign and click Actions → Webview. On the review screen of Review and send, the Preview link next to the content opens the same page.
- Automated emails: go to Marketing, then Automated emails, open the email and click Actions → Webview.
- System emails: the voucher, gift card, points, login, register, double opt-in and other emails under Settings have Webview in the ⋮ menu next to Edit email on their page.
Recurring emails don't have a Webview action. Leat AI, the assistant in the dashboard, can give you the link to one.
What it shows
Webview shows the email for no particular contact, so merge tags aren't filled in. Where a contact's first name would go, you see the tag itself.
To see a sent campaign the way one contact got it, open the campaign's Recipients tab and choose Show campaign on behalf of recipient from that contact's menu. The page then shows their details.
A view-in-browser link in your email
The Webview tag in the editor's Tags panel adds a link that opens the email in the browser. In a campaign, an automated email or a system email, each contact who clicks it sees the email with their own details filled in. Put it near the top of a long email, so a contact whose inbox cuts it short can still read all of it.
