Other Information on the Email Designer
When using the Email Designer, consider the following:
- Certain styles will not be displayed in View Code mode. The email designer takes any of the styles in the HTML for Email Standard Styles, pulls them into the database, and removes them from the HTML. Do not be alarmed when these styles are removed from the HTML in the View Code mode.
- The email designer will look at the first <style> element in the <head> of the HTML and find the CSS for the relevant classes. If the styles are transparent, that means the color is not in the database. It is either in the email’s standard styles or in the head of the email. If that happens, the color will be set in the database. Though it no longer shows in the head, it will appear.

Note: SharpSpring offers Professional Services to assist with custom coding.
|
- With standard styles, inline email editor styles will override the email standard styles that CSS applied to the header of your email. Overriding the global styles inline is applicable on secondary styles that are exceptions to your primary styles.
- Tables are not available for use in Simple and Designer emails. Tables are only available with Legacy emails. Legacy templates are no longer available for creation.
