Lesson Summary

  1. Drag-and-Drop Editing: DISCO's email editor uses drag-and-drop content blocks for easy customization, similar to MailChimp.
  2. Text Block Tip: Write text externally before pasting it into DISCO to prevent accidental loss, as there's no undo option for deleted content.
  3. Merge Tags for Personalization: Use merge tags to address recipients by name; provide a default greeting if no name is available in the database.
  4. Adding and Editing Images: Insert images within text blocks and adjust their settings by clicking on the image and using the editing tools.
  5. Playlist Blocks: Integrate playlists directly from DISCO, displaying album art and track details.
  6. Button Blocks: Customize buttons with different texts, colors, and padding. Link buttons to DISCO playlists or other URLs.
  7. Content Block Rearrangement: Easily move content blocks around by dragging them; duplicate blocks to reuse well-formatted sections.
  8. Footer Block Features: Add social media links and legal text to the footer. Social icons appear automatically when links are added.
  9. Compliance with Legal Requirements: Include a section in the footer explaining why recipients are receiving the email to meet legal standards.
  10. Efficient Layout Management: Duplicate content blocks to save time and maintain consistent formatting across different sections of the email.
