Email Templates

Email Content Regions

Pardot will automatically make every table cell or paragraph editable, however, if you want to “lock down” your template so only some areas are editable, you can use these snippets.

Editable Content

Add this snippet to a table cell to make it editable.

<td pardot-region></td>

Repeatable Content

Pardot allows you to specify repeatable content blocks within an email template. This is great for scenarios where you need 3 content sections for 1 email but only 2 for another email.

<div pardot-repeatable>
	<div pardot-region>
	<h1>Title</h1>
	A paragraph of text
		<a href="#">Read More</a>
		</div>
	</div>

Forms

Change a form submit button to an image

Place this snippet in the Look and Feel step in the form wizard to change it to a image. Remember to remove all the text in the Submit Button field.

<style type="text/css">
  form.form p.submit input {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  text-align: right;
  border: none;
  background: url(https://www.site.com/submit.gif) no-repeat left top;
  width:100px;
  height:100px;
  cursor: pointer; }
</style>

Trigger a download after successful form submission

Use this snippet to automatically start an asset (like a whitepaper) to download upon successful form submission. Place this code under the Thank You Code tab in the form wizard.

<script type="text/javascript">
  var howLongToWait = 10; //number of seconds to wait
  var urlOfDownloadContent = 'http://www.example.com/whitepaper.pdf'; // URL of your piece of content
  function triggerDownload() {
  window.location = urlOfDownloadContent;
  }
  setTimeout('triggerDownload()', howLongToWait * 1000);
</script>
