      Eloqua - Mail Merge Demo Link

      In this article we will walk through the steps to create an email template and email that contain the mail merge demo link in Eloqua. The email template is not a prerequisite but will help when creating additional emails in the future. 

       

      PREREQUISITE

      Read our article on creating a mail merge demo link and use these either the default Eloqa format or the following settings for the mail merge format:

      First Name: ~~eloqua..type--emailfield..syntax--FirstName..innerText--FirstName..encodeFor--url~~

      Last Name: ~~eloqua..type--emailfield..syntax--LastName..innerText--LastName..encodeFor--url~~

      STEP 1: CREATE AN EMAIL TEMPLATE

      1. Log in to your Eloqua instance and go to Assets and in the dropdown menu select Emails

       

      2. Select Create an Email

       

      3. Now go to Blank HTML Email

       

      4. Create your HTML email and paste in the mail merge demo link you created on the Consensus platform

      5. Alternatively you can use the HTML provided below to create a Watch Demo button

       

       

      Note: Below we've provided some code for an email optimized HTML button

      <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tbody>
          <tr>
            <td>
              <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
                <tbody>
                  <tr>
                    <td align="center" style="border-radius: 3px;" bgcolor="#e9703e">
                      <a href="LINK GOES HERE" target="_blank" style="font-size: 16px;font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color: rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration: none;text-decoration: none;border-radius: 3px;padding: 12px 18px;border: 1px solid rgb(233,112,62);display: inline-block;">Watch Demo &rarr;</a>
                    </td>
                  </tr>
                </tbody>
              </table>
            </td>
          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>

       

      6. Now click on the Save button and name the template

       

      Good job!! You now should have an email template with the mail merge demo link setup in Eloqua.
