Import Email Templates from Another Platform

Moving from another email platform? You can bring your existing templates with you instead of rebuilding them.

Option 1: Import by email

  1. Go to Marketing → Emails → Templates.
  2. Click New, then Import.
  3. Choose Other Platform.
  4. Copy the email address shown on screen.
  5. In your old platform, send the template as a test email to that address.
  6. Back in FunnelStreams, the email appears in your Templates list.
  7. Open it in the code editor to review and edit.

Option 2: Paste HTML

For a template

  1. Go to Marketing → Emails → Templates and click New.
  2. Choose Blank Template, then Code Editor.
  3. Paste your HTML into the editor. The preview updates as you paste.
  4. Save.

For a campaign

  1. Go to Marketing → Emails → Campaigns and click New.
  2. Choose Blank Campaign, then Code Editor.
  3. Paste your HTML and save.

Option 3: Import from a public campaign link

If your old platform gives each sent campaign a public web link, you can import from that link.
  1. Go to Marketing → Emails → Templates.
  2. Click New, then Import Email.
  3. In the Import from dropdown, choose your previous platform if it's listed.
  4. Paste the public link to the campaign.
  5. Enter a Template Name.
  6. Select Open in Design Editor to review it right away.
  7. Click Create Template.
Good to know:
  • Only the public campaign link is read. You don't enter any login details for your old platform.
  • To bring over a saved template, first create a campaign from it on your old platform, then import that campaign's link.
  • Merge tags and dynamic content aren't converted.
  • If the layout looks off, fix it in the Code Editor.

After importing

  • Replace merge tags from your old platform with FunnelStreams custom values, such as {{contact.first_name}}.
  • Check that images load and links work.
  • Make sure the email has an unsubscribe link and your physical address.
  • Send yourself a test.
