Enable web-version of email by default in custom-coded template

HubSpot Ideas

I’d like to enable the web-version of an email by default in a custom-coded template. This would streamline the email creation process for my colleagues who don’t always remember to switch the toggle hidden beneath the Advanced Settings tab.

I’m familiar with how to enable it manually once an email has been created from reading this article: Create versions of marketing emails that are viewed in browser.

But configuring this beforehand would be a time-saver and headache-reducer for each time we forget!

I would also love to be able to do this.

Ditto! Sometimes we forget to create this during the creation part. Should be something we can control across the portal!

This should be something that can be enabled in universal email settings in HubSpot.

Agreed. This would be a very nice feature to have.

We have created a “Forward to a Friend” option in each email that relies on the web version being created in order to work.

Would love to eliminate the manual step.

Agreed, it would be so helpful.

I’ve seen something similar asked a few times - I’d be down for this functionality. Or being able to do so after it’s sent.

Please Hubspot Devs, make this come to life. It feels like an easy one with no negative consequences and it would help us greatly!

This has been a frequent request, would love to see this happen

This is a request from a client as well.

Hey - anyone know if this has been done yet, and if so, how do I enable it?

Unfortunately not yet. Encourage upvotes.

Yes! There’s no downside to having this default; it’s there if you need it. With the current default of not creating a web version, there’s a whole lot of headache to getting a version. My account is littered with email clones because I forgot to toggle the web version button. Grrrr.

I agree with all these folks; it’s better to have access the web version as the default. Having no web link as the default - and not retrievable if we neglect to click it or decide later that we need it - forces manual rework. Would be nice if this question - are there ways a solution increases or decreases possible manual work/forces workarounds? - could be added to the build rubric, as it seems to be an issue in other areas in Hubspot.
