Wow! I switched over to a Mac from a PC, FYI I only had androids all of my life so, I was lost but NO MORE! Thanks to you my friend! Work didn't have tutorials for work so here I am. Thank you so much for this! It worked!!!!
This is great, but only question, after I copy source code on Mac, and highlight the random numbers in my email message, I right click those numbers and inspect is not there. Is there an alternative thing I should be using besides inspect?
Is this still possible? I'm stuck on the instructions at 2:25. When I highlight the placeholder and right click, there is no "inspect" or any way to view the code.
Same thing happened to me. If you are on Outlook go to "Message" then "Switch to plain text". It then lets you click "inspect". However, once I got to the code, I could not find the text I had written within the code ("999999"). I think this could just be Outlooks issue.

Your welcome Simon, That is strange. There could be a few reasons for this. I have not had experience with exporting from MailChimp. However, I will explore this.

As of August '23, if you are doing this in Chrome on MacOS you HAVE to have the Mac system settings set to light mode. Outlook in darkmode will have different html code in the inspect panel and will mess with how the email is rendered for the recipients.
This is not working for me. None of the design elements, the images, or the links are being pulled into Outlook.

This is because you only inserted the code of the E-Mail-template inside the code that the browser displays . It is not actually there. You can do this with every website, for example you could change a newspaperarticle. It will look real until you refresh the page.

Your instructions are wrong for PC because there is NO insert button with a dropdown... Its an OPEN button and attaches the HTML to the email it doesnt insert its content into the page.
HI mate! Make sure that those images are on the website. Make sure to change the path of the image, which means put images in the server and add the full path of images in the code.
Your methods for Microsoft doesn't work. Attach file as plain text just pastes the plain html code. Copy & Paste pastes the text but not the entire background, even if I use Ctrl+A to select all. I don't want to be mad at you, but how can it be that such an old feature like... html-mails are still such a pain in the ass to create in Outlook.

Glad you like it!
very useful thanks
You are welcome
It's very useful video but I am not able to get properly because images in the template are missing can you tell me so tip
HI mate! Make sure that those images are on the website. Make sure to change the path of the image, which means put images in the server and add the full path of images in the code.
Thank you I will change the path and see and let you know @@StewartGauld
@@k.gsekar414 let me know how you go mate. Cheers!
Do you have to type the 999999? Isn’t there a more streamlined way to embed html to outlook live?
Hi mate,
This is just a place holder value. You can type anything.
@@StewartGauld You should use a number value. If you use letters html creates a which re-rendered my code after the fact.
Is there a way to do it on WND outlook 2019
I'm not sure. I will have to look into that.
When paste on mac i loose some of the formating :/
Sorry to hear mate. There could be issues with the HTML file.
@@StewartGauld ended up using my windows machine. Worked fine
Your methods for Microsoft doesn't work.
Attach file as plain text just pastes the plain html code.
Copy & Paste pastes the text but not the entire background, even if I use Ctrl+A to select all.
I don't want to be mad at you, but how can it be that such an old feature like... html-mails are still such a pain in the ass to create in Outlook.
Hey Sabastian,
There is another method, we are updating this shortly.
Thank You!
Of course!
This did not work for me. I followed the steps and the HTML item showed up, however did not go through via email. The email was blank. What am I doing wrong?
Hey,
I will have to look into that. Did you try this process a few times and test from the receivers end?
@@StewartGauld I tried it about three times. I was attempting to embed a Google slide via the html embed code. Each time I emailed it to myself I received a blank email. Thank you for your help. 🙏
I had the same thing happen just now. Any updates or tips? Thank you!
You are great, thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Since I synced my e-mail provider to windows there are numerous e-mails that only have this computer code in the body. I want it to stop. What do I do?
Hey Renee,
I will have to look into this!
@@StewartGauld really! You will?
@@alive-awake I will try! But I’m not going to lie, my task backlog is massive 😅
@@StewartGauld I understand.
So cool! Thanks for this wonderful tutorial!
You are so welcome!
Not even one of those methods worked at all, as of March 21, 2024. At least on Mac.
Thanks for that update.

Welcome!
I pasted the html code but images are not reflecting in the mail body
Make sure image path is correct.
Of course my right click does not offer the inspect option.
Hey Gil,
That's interesting to hear. I will look into this. What computer system are you using?
@@StewartGauld I'm using outlook 365 on a mac. Thanks.
why does it appear some white lines in some of the past in outlook?
Hey mate, thats odd. Is that from the recipients end?
Hi, i had tried export my design into html, i got 3 internet link in some text and shape, its weird that not an single vector or text nor pictures were display in mail, anybody had it before ? Kinda stuck
Hi Richola,
That is odd. I will have to look into this.

how to use this with word mail merge?
Good question, I'll look into this.

Hey mate,
We will be updating this tutorial soon.
I don't ever get thed insert as text option
Hey John,
What do you see?
It looks like it works, but the e-mail is received empty..
Hey Vesela,
What so you see in the receivers email?
@@StewartGauld So, before it's sent, it looks proper. But the person receives an empty e-mail. 🤔
u r awesome!
Thanks!
Mine is not working...the most important link won't work
Hi mate! Did your template show up okay? Make sure links are not broken on the HTML file.
@@StewartGauld The link works fine when I open in a browser, but won't seem to work when I send through Outlook. I've gone through my code a million times and all the social links work except for the link to the survey. I'm pretty lost.
I love you.
Thanks!
