Use shared assets in email templates

Each shared asset you create has a Reference String, which is used in an email template to include the shared asset. You can include multiple shared assets in an email template.

Location Example Reference string
HTML editor <shared_asset>bsft_demo_text</shared_asset>
Visual editor [shared_asset]bsft_demo_text[/shared_asset]
Subject line and Preheader (for both HTML and Visual editors) <shared_asset>bsft_demo_text</shared_asset>

Use in the subject line or preheader text

You can include the reference string of a shared asset in the subject line or preheader text of an email template.

Note: You can only use shared assets of type Subject & Preheader in the subject line or preheader of an email template.

Example 1:

In the following example, the shared asset "Sale offer" is used in the subject line by including the reference string <shared_asset>bsft_sale_offer</shared_asset>.
