Using MailChimp Email Templates

NOTE: Email templates can differ slightly depending on how they were built. Some steps may not need to be done if the code is not present. If you would like us to help you with the conversion please reach out to our support team and we will be happy to assist.

1.) Save the Raw email and open it in a text editor like Notepad (You must use a plain text editor, you cannot use MS Word or Google Docs for this).

2.) Copy all the the code from "<!doctype html>" to the end of the document. 

3.) Go to: https://www.webatic.com/quoted-printable-convertor

4.) Paste the code into the Encoded field and then select Decode.

5.) Paste the decoded text back into an empty text edit document. 

6.) Highlight all of the code from "<!doctype html>" to "<title>*|MC:SUBJECT|*</title>" and delete it.

7.) Change the "<body>" open tag to "<div>" and change the "</body>" closed tag to "</div>" and delete “</html>”.

8.) Remove the code between "<!--*|IF:MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*-->" and "<!--*|END:IF|*-->".

9.) Remove the "View this email in your browser" hyperlink as it will not work.

10.) Remove the "Unsubscribe" and "Change your email preferences" hyperlinks as it will not work.

Example: 

<br>Want to change how you receive these emails?<br>You can <a href="*|UPDATE_PROFILE|*" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #FFFFFF;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">update your preferences</a> or <a href="*|UNSUB|*" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #FFFFFF;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">unsubscribe from this list</a>.<br><br>

11.) Copy all the code and paste it into this converter: https://codebeautify.org/minify-html

12.) Copy the result and put it back into your note pad.

13.) Remove all css between "<style type="text/css">" and the first media query "@media only screen and" to avoid conflicts. We want to keep the media query for responsiveness.

14.) Copy and paste the minified code into your estimate rocket email template and test.
