How to Create a Synchronized Module

A synchronized module is a module in which information can be automatically updated in all emails that contain this module. Any container, structure or line in an email template can be saved as a module and be synchronized, meaning you do not need to edit manually each campaign.

Use synchronized modules to simultaneously update elements present in all email templates:

  • logo;
  • contacts;
  • social media icons;
  • signature;
  • unsubscribe link;
  • customer policy, etc.
  1. Go to Messages > Messages, click any email or create a new one.

You can choose of two more options: Restore and Make unsynchronized.

  • When clicking Restore, changes will not be saved. The email would contain the old version, provided it was saved before.
  • When clicking Make unsynchronized, the synchronized module becomes a regular module.

If you do not run a mass update of synchronized modules, but they are present in several emails, they will be updated after you open each email. For example, Module 1 is synchronized and is used in Email 1 and Email 2. After you edit Module 1 in Email 1, it will be updated in Email 2 after you open Email 2.
