SSDynamically filled email - 4096 options!
I have an interactive quiz I am promoting for a client.
The user has to answer 6 questions and there are 4 options for each question. The final screen offers them "next steps" advice and links for each answer they gave. After the on-screen results, they get the results sent to them in an email, which also contains a "can't see this clearly, view in browser" link.
In theory, then there are 4096 different email alternatives that could be sent! (4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4).
Can Litmus cope with this, or do you have some advice on how my developer should code this so that issue of the variations is largely irrelevant to Litmus testing?
My developer has wondered out loud if he "should create new HTML without using css3 because maybe css3 is not supported by all email providers?"
Very appreciative of any help on this
Simon
The safest way is to create each question in it's own <table> then your email will be
One table shouldn't affect the next so you'll only need to run 4 Litmus tests;
CSS3 does work in a growing number of email clients (iOS, Android, Apple Mail, etc.), however there is also a large number that don't support it (Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.). So make sure you have solid fallbacks for those clients.
Also if you have analytics it's good to have a look to see what email clients your subscribers are using, you can then work out the percentage that will see CSS. Also you may not need to spend hours stressing over Outlook if there's only 2 people using it.
