How to Add Newsletter Content to Drip

This guide explains how to add your Hello Retail Newsletter Content code snippet to Drip.

Note

Use a unique campaign name for each newsletter. Hello Retail uses the campaign name as the unique ID. Reusing a name can result in duplicated products in the email.

Prerequisite

Before you create an auto campaign, you must create a Newsletter Content design. To learn how, click here. When your design is ready, proceed with this guide to integrate with Drip.

How to get your Hello Retail code snippet

Step 1: Log in to your Hello Retail account here and create an auto campaign for the product recommendations you want in the newsletter. (If you already made a design you can skip to Step 4)

Step 2: When you are logged in, navigate to: Newsletter Content > Auto campaigns.

  • If you already have an "Auto campaign config", click the "Edit auto campaign config" button.
  • If you do not have an "Auto campaign config", follow the steps below.

(Click "Create new" to create a campaign and get the code snippet)

Step 3: Fill out the fields, including how many products should be shown in total.

Step 4: Optionally select fixed products that should always be shown, and choose a "Recommendation strategy" (or keep the default). Then click the "Code snippet" tab, select "Drip" as the newsletter platform, and copy the code snippet shown.

Step 5: You are now done in Hello Retail and ready to insert the newsletter content into your Drip email template.

How to insert the Hello Retail code snippet into Drip

Step 1: Log in to your Drip account at https://www.getdrip.com/signin.

Step 2: In the admin, go to Campaigns and select Single emails or Email series, depending on where you want to add newsletter content.

Step 3: After selecting the email type, edit the campaign or workflow where you want to add newsletter content.

(Click the pencil to edit a single email campaign)

(Click the dots and click "Edit" to edit a workflow) 

(Click the box of the specific mail in the flow to edit in the flow)

(Click Edit Email)

Step 4: For both single emails and workflows, the email editor works the same. Add a text block in the desired section and paste the Hello Retail code snippet into that block. See the video guide below for a walkthrough.

Step 5: Complete the newsletter as you normally would.

Step 6: Send a test email to verify everything renders as intended before sending to your subscribers.
