In case you are collaborating with a team on your email marketing projects, using Mailchimp templates can simplify the process and maintain a consistent brand image. Yet, the method might not be immediately clear. This blog article will provide step-by-step instructions on how to share a Mailchimp template with your team.
Step 1: Create or Select Your Template
First, you’ll need to either create a new template or select the one you want to share.
To create a new template:
Go to the Templates page. Click Create Template. Choose the layout you want, then click Start Designing. Customize your template with the editing tools. Click Save and Exit when you're finished.
To select an existing template:
Go to the Templates page. Click the name of the template you want to share.
Step 2: Share the Template
Now you’re ready to share your template. But first, it’s important to note that you can only share templates with other Mailchimp users. The recipient will also need to have a Mailchimp account to access the template.
Here are the steps to share your template:
From the template page, click the drop-down menu by the Edit button. Select Share. In the pop-up window, enter the recipient’s email address. Click Send Invitation.
After these steps, Mailchimp will send an email to the recipient with a link to access the shared template. They can then save the template to their own account.
Final Thoughts
Sharing Mailchimp templates is a handy feature that can greatly improve your team’s efficiency. However, remember that templates are shared as-is and any changes made by you after sharing will not be reflected in the shared version. To update a shared template, you would need to share it again.
Don’t forget: the recipient needs to have a Mailchimp account to access the shared template. Happy emailing!
