This problem is one of the many reasons we have, over the past year, migrated away from Constant Contact. We had hopes that SharpSpring would overhaul the editor, but suspect that will take time. We are quite pleased with the email campaign editor integrated into , our digital marketing automation platform. ... View more

It is now May of 2020 and this still isn't available in the CC editor — although it is available in this forum toolbar. Come on! ... View more

What are "web-safe Google fonts"? To the best of my knowledge, there's no such thing. There are "web-safe" fonts and then there are Google fonts. If you are not scripting a call to include Google fonts in the email, then  there is no guarantee those fonts will be shown. If this is the case, then the implementation is worse than not using them at all.   If you want to deliver "web-safe Google fonts", then you will need to call them via a script in the email. That's the only way to guarantee they will appear. Can you please do that? ... View more

BrianD069 hit the nail on the head. (A perfect example in this very post. I copied BrianD069's name from the previous post. Along with came a link. When I tried to post, I got a warning that no HTML could be used. Multiply that by every single time someone posts text from Word into a CC campaign.) ... View more

Candace, I can respond with one answer to that question. I want to be able to add a call to Google fonts in the header and apply them to paragraphs and headers. The fact Constant Contact is limited to a 1995 font set is a significant factor in choosing other services. ... View more

Changing the background color isn't an acceptable solution, so I hope we'll be notified when the engineers resolve the problem. ... View more

This is still one of the most frustrating design omissions in CC. Other services have provided this for a long time, and it's so important for distinguishing our brand that we are considering changing to a more functional alternative. ... View more

2 years and counting on the basic editor getting better, but no signs that it will any time soon.   Not having the ability to make edits to the html is frustrating and fat too limiting. And in the end I get an email that is only modestly mobile-friendly. Time to look for a new marketing email provider. ... View more

Two more:   The line-spacing of the text varies at random, and there's no way to set it to be consistent throughout an email There is no way to select "13" as the text size, even that's what the text within my block is set to. ... View more

I'm finding it difficult, if not impossible, to use the new beta mobile templates. Here are just a few of the issues I'm having: - the default color of the text is set by the "primary" background color, which makes no sense. The default text color should be able to be set independently of the background. - when I select individual blocks of text and give them a new color they sometimes randomly change color, or sometimes just a few words change back to the background - there is no way to edit the source html in the new editor. Completely a non-starter. - there is no way to include contact details, such as last gift amount, within the body of an email. These are all major problems, since the new editor is a step backward from the control of the old editor. ... View more

There are so many bugs with the mobile template builder that I'm about to give up in frustration. A few of the problems: - the default text size appears to be 13px, but you can't choose 13px through the drop-down menu - no ability to access the html source - no ability to customize the text-only version of the email - no ability to change the size of an image placeholder - font sometimes changes to white when changing weight or text-size - Underlines for links appear to appear or not at random These are just a few of the issues I've found. ...
