How can we help?

Each email platform has its own quirks. Here's a step-by-step guide for exporting from Embellish into each supported platform.

HighLevel

Using the Design Editor

1. In Embellish, select HighLevel from the platform selector in the toolbar

2. Click the copy button and choose Design Editor

3. In HighLevel, open your email campaign and navigate to the visual editor

4. Click into a text block (or create a new one)

5. Paste with Cmd+V (Mac) or Ctrl+V (Windows)

Using the Code Editor

1. In Embellish, click the copy button and choose Code Editor

2. In HighLevel, switch to the HTML/code view of your email

3. Paste the HTML directly

HighLevel merge fields

HighLevel uses {{field.name}} syntax. Common fields include:

• {{contact.first_name}}, {{contact.last_name}}, {{contact.email}}

• {{user.name}}, {{user.calendar_link}}

• {{right_now.day_of_week}}, {{right_now.month_name}}

ActiveCampaign

Using the Email Designer

1. In Embellish, select ActiveCampaign from the platform selector

2. Click the copy button and choose Email Designer

3. In ActiveCampaign, open your campaign's email designer

4. Click into a text block and paste

Using the HTML Builder

1. In Embellish, click the copy button and choose HTML Builder

2. In ActiveCampaign, switch to HTML view or use the HTML content block

3. Paste the HTML

ActiveCampaign merge fields

ActiveCampaign uses %FIELD% syntax. Common fields include:

• %FIRSTNAME%, %LASTNAME%, %EMAIL%

• %USER_FIRST_NAME%, %USER_SIGNATURE%

• %UNSUBSCRIBELINK%, %UPDATE_PROFILE%

Kit (ConvertKit)

Using the Standard Editor

1. In Embellish, select Kit from the platform selector

2. Click the copy button and choose Standard Editor

3. In Kit, open your email and click into the content area

4. Paste your content

Note: Kit's editor adds its own paragraph spacing, so Embellish skips the extra spacers when you use the Standard Editor format. This prevents double-spacing.

Using HTML Code

1. In Embellish, click the copy button and choose HTML Code

2. In Kit, switch to the HTML view or use an HTML block

3. Paste the HTML

Mailchimp

Using the Standard Editor

1. In Embellish, select Mailchimp from the platform selector

2. Click the copy button and choose Standard Editor

3. In Mailchimp, open your campaign and navigate to the content editor

4. Click into a text content block and paste

Using HTML Code

1. In Embellish, click the copy button and choose HTML Code

2. In Mailchimp, use the "Code" content block or switch to the code view of a text block

3. Paste the HTML

Mailchimp merge fields

Mailchimp uses *|FIELD|* syntax. Common fields include:

• |FNAME|*, |LNAME|*, |EMAIL|*

• |LIST:NAME|*, |LIST:ADDRESS|*

• |UNSUB|*, |UPDATE_PROFILE|*

Other platforms

If your email platform isn't listed, use the Standard option:

1. In Embellish, select Standard from the platform selector

2. Click the copy button and choose:

   • Rich Text — if pasting into a visual/WYSIWYG editor

   • HTML Code — if pasting into a code/HTML editor

   • Plain Text — if the platform doesn't support HTML

3. Paste into your platform's editor

For merge fields, you'll need to insert your platform's personalization tokens manually after pasting — the generic Standard option doesn't include platform-specific merge field libraries.

General tips for all platforms

• Always send a test email after pasting. Check formatting, links, merge fields, and how it looks on mobile.

• Paste into a clean block. If your platform's editor has pre-existing content or formatting, clear it before pasting to avoid conflicts.

• Check merge fields render correctly. Some platforms show merge fields as tokens in the editor and others show the raw syntax. Both are normal — the test email will show the actual values.

• If spacing looks off, try the other format option for your platform (switch between the visual editor and code editor format). One will match better.
