Using Tags with TinyMCE
Using tags within TinyMCE is a way to personalize an email. By adding tags to an email, you can customize the subject and body.
In order to get the best out of TinyMCE, it is recommended that the formatting and writing should take place in a word document before it is uploaded to the Mobile Locker Platform. This will maintain consistency and keep your emails looking sharp.
For a complete list of email tags, visit Common Tags.
