Custom Formatting of Branded Email Templates
Adapt your own branding and format in the email template to make it more professional and align with styles from other systems, creating a consistent brand experience
Email Templates
YouLi sends many emails on your behalf. These are automatically branded using your logo, Trip Name, From Name, Trip Banner, etc.
However, the standard templates are just that, they are standard. If you want a stronger brand element enforced across all platforms that send your emails, YouLi allows you to customize the formatting of the email templates to be consistent with your brand style.
This includes things like fonts, colors, background, etc.
How many templates can you customize?
