Previewing the GIF in the email

Since the GIF won't "preview" within the template builder, you need to create a campaign to see it in action.

  1. In the Templates tab, find the template with the GIF in it. Click the "gear" icon, then select Create Campaign.

  2. Name the campaign. When the template pops up to edit, select Preview in the top-right corner. The animated GIF should appear in the preview window. Note: you can save this campaign that you can use to upload all of your GIFs to preview what they look like.
