ability to add a forward to friend in emails

[MelanieM34]

I created an email using card/announcement and when I tried to add "forward to a friend", "join my mailing list" and permission reminder" I was not able. I would like to have the ability to use these functions in future emails that I create.

Hi everyone! I am following up to the forward to friend feature request. Thank you for your patience as we looked into this! The good news is we have received word from our engineers that feature is now available in our cross device templates under the social share block. If anyone has any additional questions on this, please don’t hesitate to respond to this post as we would be happy to assist you further.

Im trying to pull off something such as city name and insert it into the e-mail but I can't find any information on how to do that.  I have uploaded the contacts but still can't get it to work.  Basicall in the intro there is a preset version with the Dear (first name) line.  I want to be able to do something like this in a different section.  Any ideas?

When you are editing your email put the insertion point where you want to place the field. Then use the drop down "Insert Contact Details" to select the field you want.

Help... I am looking for a working forward to a friend code to add to my custom HTML page using the Advanced editor. I have tried, as suggested in the Advanced Editor's User's Guide - <Forward>Note - whatever I put here does not matter, nothing worked</Forward>. Originally I tried including in within a <td></td> tags - no go. My last attempt was to insert it into the body tag - still no workie...

Thanks - any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Best regards,

Mike

Oh, and the email campaign was sent through my test account...so actually was sent.

I often get emails that were sent by other agencies on Constant Contact and i would like to forwarf them to our lists and cant find a way to do so.  Is there a way. I hate to have to spend the time recreating the email to send to my contacts.

DebbieM32,

Thank you for your post.  Great question! 

At this time, we do not have a way for you to forward another company's Constant Contact email to your Constant Contact email list without recreating the email yourself.  

It is possible to manually transfer an email from one account to another, but it would require the login credentials of both companies' accounts.  Unless that company wishes to provide you with their login information, then this most likely would not be possible.

I do apologize that, unless they agree to let you login to their account to use the feature in the link above, you will need to recreate the email.

Thank you for your time.

Respectfully,

[JaneW.S]

and also one to subscribe-- in the event that someone else forwards my newsletter to them. Possible?

I would like to see the ability to "forward email to a friend" added to the beta mobile email templates.

1. The "greeting" is really hard to use. Once you add it to a block its really hard to type after it. I had to make sure the block was perfect before I added the greeting. 2. There is no longer an "un-do" or "cancel block editing" option. I started typing in the wrong bock, which is now REALLY easy, and there was no way for me to undo the damage I had done. 3. It should be STANDARD for all templates to have a "forward this email" and "join my mailing list" button options! You tell us it is best practice to have them in all emails yet you make it VERY hard for us to easily add them to emails.

- Incomprehensible in the newsletter editing... - ... and the text we supplied never seems to show up anywhere... - I spent a long while trying to test this from a test message but never got a submit button to respond (almost certainly a bug) - ... and going back to testing from our last monthly newsletter I could get submit to respond and get a "This email has been forwarded" response.. but (a long while later, spam folders re-checked etc.) the forwarded messages never actually arrived I look forward to switching to a more reliable e-mail marketing provider as soon as possible.
