RSS feeds
You can define one or more layout variants for RSS Stands for "RDF Site Summary", also known as Really Simple Syndication, is a standard for distributing information from one website to another. Often used for distributing news feeds. feed articles. Within the RSS feed paragraph you can select the layout to be used.
Source code entered in this tab is rendered into the newsletter without further checking. The formatting of text and links must be written in HTML code.
You need knowledge of HTML and particularly of HTML in emails to setup this paragraph. Using corrupt or not supported code in a layout may cause severe errors in the newsletter display.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Placeholder for the RSS feed URL | |
Value for {placeholder1}...Value for {placeholder1} | In the RSS feed paragraph, open the RSS feed tab and insert the placeholder {placeholder1}, {placeholder3} or {placeholder3} in the URL box. Before the RSS feed is retrieved, this placeholder is replaced with the value entered here. |
Order (default layout) | |
Position 1 | Select the content to be displayed here. |
Position 2 | Select the content to be displayed here. |
Position 3 | Select the content to be displayed here. |
Position 4 | Select the content to be displayed here. |
Layout 1-5 | |
Desktop version | Enter the source code for the desktop version of your newsletter. |
Mobile version | Enter the source code for the mobile version of your newsletter. |
Text version | Enter the source code for the text version of your newsletter. |
Inserting content
Content from an RSS feed is present as velocity variables and can be inserted in the source text this way. These include
- status variables (information on current article paragraphs)
- present variables (for using queries that check the presence of an element)
- value variables (for releasing content)
Important notes
- Font definitions. When using alternate layout options, font definitions must be set in your HTML. The Template Kit does not format the text, allowing you to choose a design. Conversely, this means that links in continuous text (if used) must be formatted accordingly in the RSS feed.
- Width specifications. RSS feed paragraphs may vary in width. When using an alternate layout, you should preferably only work with percentages, or not apply width specifications. Otherwise, you can work with fixed widths as long as the RSS feed paragraph is used in the same configuration, or a separate layout variant is defined for each different paragraph width.
- Aspect ratio. The Template Kit can only edit images to a limited degree if an alternative layout option is used (whatever content width is present is applied as the maximum width). You should provide images with the required width. Also, you can also scale the image by setting a specified width in HTML. This is not recommended, however, because some applications (such as Microsoft Outlook) ignore this information and display the image in its original size.
- Link alignment/Image position. These options are inoperative when using an alternative layout. The arrangement/positioning of elements is set by the HTML
- Risk of display errors. When manually entering HTML for desktop and mobile versions, make sure that the content displays properly in a variety of email programs and web mailers. Otherwise, this can lead to serious display errors.

Example for an alternative layout
The example creates a two-columned layout using a width of 580 pixels.
Remove HTML comments, whitespaces, and blank lines when copying the HTML to the Template Kit. They may be sent along with the newsletter and, thus, expand the newsletter source code.

Structured data
Add structured data to your mailing to present the email more prominently and attractively in the recipient's inbox or to add additional functions. The recipient's email program must support structured data for this. If this is not the case, the structured data is ignored and the email is displayed regularly in the recipient's inbox.
Select the checkbox in the Gmail Promotions tab section to place the email prominently in the Gmail Promotions tab using structured data. Depending on the provided content, Gmail will add a company logo, an image banner, a coupon code and a timer to the email preview.
The structured data generated by Optimizely Campaign is in conformance with Gmail's specifications. However, Optimizely has no influence on how the structured data is ultimately interpreted in Gmail's inbox. For more information on the Gmail Promotions tab, see Gmail developer website.
Alternatively, you can enter structured data directly as JSON-LD script in the JSON-LD source code section. Note that no validation takes place and that even a small error in the JSON-LD source code can result in the structured data not being read. In any case, test the display in advance using a test dispatch.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Gmail Promotions tab | |
Activate | Check to add structured data to your mailing. By clicking Apply, a yellow box at the top of the edit area labeled Structured data is activated for this mailing appears. Click Display to display the JSON-LD script in the head section of the HTML code. If you have knowledge of JSON-LD, you can use the code preview to review, copy, and modify the code in the JSON-LD source code section. |
Start date | To promote a limited time offer, you must specify a start date. The start date must lie before the mailing's send date to ensure that Gmail considers the structured data. Use the indicated date format. |
Start time | Define a start time. Use the time format hh:mm:ss. |
End date | From the end date and end time, Gmail calculates the timer until the end of the offer. The end date must lie after the mailing's send date to ensure that Gmail considers the structured data. Use the indicated date format. |
End time | Define the end time of the offer. Use the time format hh:mm:ss. |
Time zone | Select the time zone to which your time specifications refer. Gmail uses this to calculate the end time for the recipient's time zone. Example: An offer that ends at 10:00 AM in the UK ends at 6:00 PM in Japan. |
Logo | Upload your company logo. The logo will be displayed next to the mailing preview. Alternatively, you can enter an external URL where the logo can be found. Use a square image format with an image size of at least 40 x 40 pixels. |
Coupon description | Enter a description to your coupon code. Example: 30% discount. |
Coupon code | Insert a coupon code or placeholder depending on how you generate the coupon code. For information on how to create and include coupon codes with Optimizely Campaign, see Coupon system. |
Image | Upload an image that will be displayed below the text in the email preview. Alternatively, you can enter an external URL where the logo is to be found. Use a rectangular image format with an image size of at least 324 x 83 pixels. |
Tracking
You can extend outgoing links with tracking parameters. With the help of web analytics software, you can use these parameters to analyze click behavior. You can define up to five tracking parameters. Each consists of a key (parameter name) and value.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Parameter 1-5 | |
Key | Enter the name of the parameter. |
Value | Enter the value of the parameter (integer or string). |
Text version

Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Alternative text version | |
Activated | By default, this check box is cleared, and the text version is created automatically. If you check this box, you must enter a text version manually in the field below. Otherwise, no text version is sent with your mailing. |
Text | Enter the newsletter text. You cannot use HTML or other formatting in the text version. Only line breaks and special characters (such as ****** or ++++++) can be used to structure the newsletter. |
Mobile
Activate an optimized version of your mailing for mobile devices. This version is sent together with the desktop version and displayed on smart phones and tablets.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
General | |
Activate mobile version | Check to create a mobile version of the newsletter. By default, newsletter content is included in the mobile version. For each paragraph, you can define whether it is displayed or omitted in the mobile version. Note that the size of each email that contains a mobile version will increase by approximately 50-100 KB. |
Click profile | Select a click profile that is assigned to each recipient who clicks in the mobile version. Use the click profile to analyze the usage of the mobile version or to create target groups containing mobile users. |
Activate link extension | If you want to track mobile version links separately so that they are available in advanced reports, check this box. If you do, an additional parameter mobile with a value of 1 is appended to mobile newsletter links.
You can also use click profiles to achieve more convenient reporting. |
