I developed a newsletter in Canva, saved the four pages as jpgs but can't figure out what to do next. I don't have much experience so will need a step-by-step approach to getting this launched. Thanks!

Hello @BevS761 ,

 

You're welcome to utilize the Canva integration to bring your Canva creations over, but it would still follow a similar process as creating an email from a PDF. Since PDFs can't be embedded into emails, only the image versions of the creation would be able to insert directly in the email.

 

If you're not using the PDF > email conversion, then you'd insert the first page image or images into your email like any other image type. If your Canva creation has links you're wanting your contacts to click on, you'd need to link the PDF in your email via the images, a button, or some text.

 

If your Canva creations are just purely images you want to have in your email, then you'd simply upload and insert them like any other. Keep in mind that you'll likely want to include some regular text and other elements in your email, since image-only emails are more likely to be spam filtered and will be incompatible with accessibility tools like screen readers.

UPDATE:

Since the custom code system does not support iframes, HTML provided by Canva won't be compatible in the editor. Emails would either need to be built natively in one of our available email editors, or Canva media would need to be incorporated via one of the method mentioned in my prior comment.

Has the Tier 2 team provided any further insight or troubleshooting in regards to the HTML that Canva provides as far as its compatibility with our custom code editor?

It would be extremely helpful to integrate Canva's html into this as well, as it stands no export/import options seems to include links I add to a design unless by html, but the html won't convert for CC.

Hello @ChristiL980 ,

 

Is our custom code editor giving you errors when you try to plug in the HTML Canva gives you? Or is your concern more in regards to your familiarity with handling HTML code in general?

Yes it flags the code from Canva, I've used Canva generated html in several different CRMs previously and never had any issues with canva's html codes.
