How to Insert Dynamic Blocks

Overview



In AVADA, you can insert dynamic blocks to your email template directly on the app. If you insert this block to your email, it will automatically get the product information to show when you send your real emails.

In this guide, let's explore how to insert dynamic blocks to your email template in AVADA.


Before your start



- Before you can jump in, you will want to make sure that you have an E-commerce integration enabled with AVADA. If you are using a built-in integration (i.e., Shopify, Magento), the integration will pull in this information automatically. If you have not connected your store to your AVADA account, please have a look at our guides on how to integrate with Shopify or Magento 2.

- You can add dynamic blocks into your email template in both automation workflows and campaigns. They share the same email editor tool.

- Should you have any problems with inserting dynamic blocks into your email, don't hesitate to contact our support team via in-app chat or <support@avada.io>.

Step 2. Choose the Dynamic option
