Introduction
On this Content Blocks page, you can set up account-level blocks of HTML content.
You can also set up event-level content blocks in Event Setup > Content Display > Content Blocks.
If content is common to multiple events, setting up account-level content blocks means only needing to do it once instead of separately in each event.
You can use content blocks in the following places:
- Email Templates
- including Speaker Email Templates, Reviewer Email Templates, and Digital Event Templates
- Forms
- Websites
- Event Display Shell
- Printable Confirmations
A content block can be displayed by selecting it in the same way and from the same drop-down lists as dynamic data fields. You can instead choose to display a content block conditionally by setting up Display Rules in an event. The event setup path for Display Rules is Event Setup > Display Rules.
When you compose an Email Template, you can select display rules in the same way used to select content blocks or dynamic data fields. Display rules are selected from the same list and appended to the email body. When the email is generated, the content block(s) selected in the rule are displayed if the conditions in the rule are met.
Example: A rule could display a content block with text relevant to C-Suite executives only if the profile's Position is "CEO" or "CMO".Quick Tips
