Yes, if you prefer to use your own email platform to send the emails, this should work just as seamlessly as sending the email yourself. There should be no extra requirements to do this.
Here’s how to send an eCard from an email marketing platform:
Sending your eCard from a third-party email marketing platform, such as Mail Chimp or Constant Contact, should be approached in exactly the same way as sending standard emails.
Once you have designed and saved your eCard on eCard Shack, the following instructions will help you get the images and links you need to add into your email marketing platform.
- Go to the ‘Your eCards’ page in your account
- Click the ‘How to Send’ button next to your chosen ecard
- Copy your eCard thumbnail image and link using the Copy eCard’ button to copy the thumbnail image and link to your ecard
- You can now paste this directly into a new email that you have created on your email marketing platform
Alternatively, you can download a copy of your eCard thumbnail image:
- Go to the ‘Your eCards’ page in your account
- Click the ‘How to Send’ button next to your chosen ecard
- Use the “Download as Graphic” button
- You can then upload this into the image library of your email marketing platform
- To get the link to your eCard, click the “Copy link to eCard” button
If your email marketing platform supports the ability to import a HTML file you can now download this as follows:
- Go to the ‘Your eCards’ page in your account
- Click the ‘How to Send’ button next to your chosen ecard
- Use the “Download template” button which will download a simple HTML file which can be uploaded to your preferred email marketing platform
Note: Don’t forget to edit the personalised greeting text that sits under your ecard image – this can be edited on the How to Send page or in your email marketing platform directly.
