Hi all,

I am new to HubSpot, I am creating an email template. I want

to create a completely customized layout with my own HTML and CSS but don’t know where to upload it. I don’t know if it is possible or not.

Can anyone help me with this

Thanks in advance.

Hi @jacker ,

If you have access to it you can create HTML email templates to use in the Design Manager. You can find this by navigating to Marketing > Files & Templates > Design Tools.

  • In the left sidebar of the Design Manager click File > New File
  • Choose HTML & HUBL from the popup that comes up
  • On the next page of the popup choose Email as your template type.

Here’s an article about email template markup in Hubspot as there are some HubL variables required to be added to the email template for it to be usuable.

Hi Alyssia,
I’ve followed your instruction but I don’t understand how to insert the HTML file and upload it. Could you please explain how to do that correctly so that it doesn’t report any errors?
Thank you
Juliette

Hi!

If you have Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise, you should be able to create a new HTML Email template:

If you have Marketing Hub Free or Starter, I think you are limited to the “Drag and Drop” editor. When creating a new email, are you seeing the custom template option? If not, you don’t have access to custom HTML Email templates in your portal.

Hi,

This works. I’ve been able to create my own custom HTML and HUBL file.

However, when I want to create an email, I can’t find this template anywhere. I’ve tried moving this template in a number of folders including default and Email/templates but I just cant seem to find any html files in the Custom option.
We’re on Marketing Hub Enterprise.

Thanks

Hello,
So managed to get my custom email template in with HTML, however, it is not allowing me to add images to it. Even in the regular email template designer, I cannot add images to certain sections. What am I doing wrong?
