By adding EasyEditor fields, you can design your content directly without switching between Marketing and Personalization, saving time and increasing workflow efficiency.
When you create a SmartBlock, you can edit various fields and properties to design the block as you want. After pushing Slots to Marketing for use in email campaigns, surveys, pages, and forms, you can edit any of these properties enabled as EasyEditor fields.
Before you start
This feature is only available when using Dotdigital Marketing as your messaging provider.
Only new-style SmartBlocks display editable default fields. If you have a SmartBlock created with the legacy editor, you must use custom fields, which requires custom HTML.
If you need assistance, contact Support.
EasyEditor fields can also be added to Layouts.
