You can quickly create a mailing in ReachMail by loading HTML from an external URL or webpage. We’ll automatically convert the text and images from the URL into a format that’s easy to use within ReachMail.
To access this feature:
Go to the Mailings tab.
Click on New and select Create New Mailing.
To make sure your web page content translates properly into an email format, please ensure the following:
Use Absolute Image and Link Paths:
All images and links in your HTML must use full (absolute) URLs.
✅ Example: http://www.example.org/images/logo.jpg
❌ Avoid: /images/logo.jpg
Relative paths will not work in email clients because they lack context to locate the source.
Avoid External CSS Files:
Do not reference CSS style sheets hosted outside the HTML file.
Email clients typically block or ignore these, which can cause your message to appear broken or unstyled.
Use Static HTML Only:
Your web page should be a static HTML file.
Dynamic elements like database-driven content or auto-refresh features will not work in email.
Do Not Include Scripts:
Email clients block scripting languages (like JavaScript, PHP, etc.) for security reasons.
Including these can cause rendering issues or trigger spam filters.
If you're unsure whether your web page meets these criteria:
Contact the person who built or maintains the page.
Or reach out to ReachMail Support at support@reachmail.com—we’re happy to help!
Once your web page is ready:
Copy the full URL of the page (e.g., https://www.example.com/newsletter.html).
Paste the URL into the provided field in ReachMail.
Select your preferred format: HTML (recommended) or Multi-Part (Text/HTML) for wider compatibility.
ReachMail will automatically retrieve and import the HTML content from the page into your new mailing.
Note: Only the HTML portion of the web page will be used. Styling, images, and layout will be preserved as long as the above requirements are followed.
