Online Express vs Mailchimp

Danny Morris

Dear Blackbaud


We are new RE users with OE. We are trying to migrate more traffic to the email blast tool in OE and move away from Mailchimp however:

1. There is no "Fname" logic in OE so we cant do variable data mailings unless I am missing something?

2. I cant upload my own code and design and am forced to use the OE templates that dont bear a resemblance to my brand design. When will upload your own templates be available in OE like in Mailchimp.


Any suggestions?

Thanks

I think that this community post addresses your concerns about OE.  The title of the post is a downer, but there are resources in there to use.  https://community.blackbaud.com/forums/viewtopic/213/26260
