Pinpointe has developed a new Basic Editor tool that provides a more modern UI, as well as improving on certain functionalities. Unlike the old WYSIWYG Editor, the Basic Editor has been broken up into two sub-tools:

  1. The primary Basic Editor page where you can use Pinpointe's editing toolbar to insert content and / or change to "Code View" to directly enter / paste new code or modify the current node. 
  2. The "Import HTML" page where you can import an entire HML / CSS code file (and images if using a zipped file) to generate a campaign template, and then use Pinpointe's editing toolbar in "Code View" to modify the existing code. 

When you click the "Create Email Message" option from the main left-hand vertical menu (See Fig 1 below), or click the "New Email Message" button on the Manage Email Messages page (See Fig 2 below), you'll be redirected to this page (See Fig 3 below):

You will note there are three options: "DND Builder", "Basic Editor", and "Import HTML". This KB document will be focusing on the Basic Editor and Import HTML options (which are both part of the Basic Editor tool). 


To start, give the campaign a name by filling in the "Campaign Name" field in either option, then click the blue "Get Started" button.

After clicking the "Get Started" button, you will be redirected to this page (See Fig 4):

The left side of the page is New Editor canvas area and input fields for campaign, subject, preview text and a tracking pixel.

The right side of the page is a preview pane of what the rendered campaign will look like (this is a browser view).
