WARNING 

Although it is possible to use your own HTML template in the Bananatag Email Designer, we highly advise against this. Outlook is very strict (and often fussy) with what formatting it will accept, often causing sent emails to be received looking far different than they did when being composed. We've shaped the Bananatag Email Designer to be as friendly as possible with the Outlook restrictions so emails are being sent and received with no formatting surprises or blemishes. 

We recommend building out your newsletter using the Email Designer tool. With all the content blocks and customizations available, it's very easy to replicate your existing HTML template within our designer. Learn how to rebuild your email template here.
