Tailor the send experience, and track email engagements to determine how well your email content is performing.

    With the enhanced email experience in Account Engagement, you can select an email template before you start building your email content. An email template is a reusable layout. It can help you boost productivity and encourage consistency among content creators, but it isn’t a required component of an enhanced email send. It’s your choice whether email templates are a good fit for your business processes.
