Building your own emails

If you are building your own email templates, you need to provide Rokt with the email messages in HTML format, images, and subject lines.

Your email in HTML format

Rokt can make suggestions on how to adapt the email creative for optimal performance. Keep in mind the following guidelines:

• When providing an HTML file, the code must be responsive and have been tested across devices on all major browsers and email applications to ensure templates and images render correctly.
• We recommend an email width of 600 pixels.
• Use web-safe fonts. If you want to use custom fonts, designate fallback fonts just in case.

Images

If you don't have the capabilities to host images, we can provide hosting for images used in your Email Nurtures. Before sending your images to Rokt, ensure:

• Images are in the right format and size for your email.
• Images are less than 150KB for optimal rendering under any internet connection.
• You are only using static images (GIF/JPG/PNG).
• All images are in a single zip file.

Subject lines

Provide all approved subject lines for each email in the email journey. We encourage you to:

• Keep your subject lines under 35 characters for optimal display on mobile devices. If this isn’t possible, we suggest keeping engaging messaging in the first 35 characters and supplying multiple versions for optimization.
• Avoid use of the words "win", "free", "click here", and "last chance". These phrases increase the likelihood of the email being picked up by spam filters.

Additional guidelines

• To keep a high sender reputation, all content must be reviewed to remove any spam triggers.
• Remove unsubscribe and "view this message in your browser" links as these are included as part of our email template.
• Rokt does not build HTML emails from PDF or PNG files.
• Ensure all links are included in your HTML.
