You can now use a shared assets inside another shared assets. This helps significantly increase productivity when it comes to leveraging shared assets in your campaigns. There’s a few things to note:
- Syntax is the same as using a shared asset from an email template i.e.
- {name} if the shared assets is going to be used in the HTML email editor OR
- [shared_asset] {name} [/shared_asset] if the shared assets is going to be used in the visual email editor
- The chain of references is limited to a max length of 1. Example:
- Shared asset A does not reference any shared assets. So shared asset B can reference it. Here the length of the chain ( B ← A) is 1
- In the above example, another shared asset (C) cannot reference shared asset B because that would cause the length of the chain to be greater than 1. The length of the chain (C ← B ← A) is 2
- Only the same type of shared asset (i.e. HTML, rich text of subject line) can be referenced from another shared asset. The ‘templates using this asset’ section will now list all email templates and other shared assets using the selected shared asset.
- The ‘template count’ column on the index screen will also reflect this
