      Exporting HTML Emails: Platforms with Drag-and-Drop Content Blocks and WYSIWYG Editor

      Mailchimp, Pardot, Marketo, ActiveCampaign, Salesforce Marketing Cloud and others.

      Many email marketing platforms let you import content from third party tools, like Contentware, using a WYSIWIG Editor and content blocks with different capabilities that can be pulled in and  out of a template.  One of these content blocks allows you to add HTML code.  

      This is an example of Mailchimp, but many others including Pardot, Marketo, ActiveCampaign, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and so many more use the same method.
