Use Custom Components in Email

Marketers can use custom components to enhance their email templates and content by bringing in information and assets, such as surveys or event details, from third parties. Partners or developers can create custom components. Admins install custom components from an unmanaged package or via AppExchange. After a component is installed, a user can choose it when they build email content.
