Can you add a snippet to a template?

Do I have this right? Is there no way to add a snippet to an email (or landing page) template?

Not that I'm aware of. You would treat the snippet as the "Template" for the intended section of the page or email, like a footer.

Hi Greg,

Yup! I'm aware of that. I've been doing a lot of that lately. Snippets are cool - especially since Mkto implemented the no draft function.

Thank you!

Unless, of course, any of these scenarios apply (we did something with the segmentations that is preventing no-draft from working for us):

  • No-Draft will not work if you replace one segmentation with another one in the same snippet. However, No-Draft will work if you change, add, or delete a segment within a segmentation that is referenced in the snippet
  • No-Draft will not work if you add/remove a segmentation to a previously approved snippet
    • By design, No-Draft will fail if you make a dynamic snippet static, or a static snippet dynamic. If your use case requires this scenario, then we recommend you create a new snippet to be used across your assets. If you must update the existing snippet, then you will need to approve it using the Create Draft option, then re-approve the assets using the snippet (in other words, the old behavior)

Hi Denise,

In emails, any MktoText or mktoEditable (the free text elements in the template) can also be replaced by a snippet:

We create specific elements within our guided LP template to accept snippets at page creation:

When double-clicking either highlighted area, the "insert snippet" window will appear:

And your snippet will be added to the appropriate region of the page:

Hi Dan - That seems like a good solution. Thank you.
