Necessary to notice:
The aforementioned kind will work just for these recipients whose e mail purchasers already help AMP — Gmail and Mail.ru, each desktop and cell screens. Different customers will see the fallback that we’ll construct collectively later.
Presently, there are 3 ways of constructing AMP types in Stripo:
Manner 1. Constructing AMP Varieties through the use of drag-n-drop blocks
That is most likely the best means.
Manner 2. Embedding amp-components from Google AMP dev
Google gives us all with embed AMP parts. You observe the directions on the respective web page and embed your kind into our template.
But it surely’s a bit difficult for me, so I choose not utilizing this manner.

Nicely, now that is a lot simpler.
As soon as your template is completed, it is best to:
-
go to the Modules part;
-
enter “Kind” within the search console;

<enter sort="hidden" identify="e mail" hidden worth="%EMAIL|%">
It goes after </label>.
This subject is hidden and is stuffed in mechanically. Customers don’t have to enter their e mail addresses manually.

It exhibits the merge tag since we examined e mail within the preview mode.
After we gather actual suggestions from actual customers (colleagues in the event you like to check this manner as soon as once more) will present actual addresses.
Manner 4. Utilizing our prebuilt templates
I imagine that is the best means to make use of AMP types in emails. Immediately! Within the close to future, we’ll launch our AMP kind Drag-n-Drop block — we’ll inform extra about it later.
So, to make use of our templates, you want to:
Necessary to notice:

-
within the template, click on on the ⚡HTML kind;
-
open code editor;
-
change the prevailing URL with the URL handle that you just copied in Knowledge Service.
-
if you wish to gather e mail addresses as properly, please paste the embed code as proven within the “Manner 2” part. However on this case, it can go after the and earlier than the
Step 3. Constructing a Fallback
We printed a long-read the place we confirmed 10 greatest survey invitation emails and confirmed how one can construct them with Stripo.
Right here we’ll present three greatest, in my view, fallbacks. All of them are completely websafe:
Fallback 1: Accumulating charges

embody this construction within the HTML model solely;
-
add another container to this construction;
-
equalize these containers;

Your ESP will give you the overall variety of clicks on every “charge”.
Fallback 2. Score service
You’ll be able to simply ask customers if they’re happy together with your merchandise by selecting from “Dangerous”, “Okay”, and “Nice” choices.
You do it the way in which described within the Fallback 1 possibility with just one distinction — you insert a 3-container construction. That’s it.
Fallback 3. Offering a hyperlink to an exterior supply
If you’re going to ask customers a number of questions, as a fallback you would possibly wish to ask them to take a multi-question survey.
You construct a kind both in your web site, or through the use of Google Varieties.
Upon getting accomplished it and you’ve got a hyperlink to this survey, you:
-
add a 1-container construction into your template;
-
drop a “Button” fundamental block in it;
