I’m also filtering for generic terms included by other systems, such as a dash, or “Visitor.” If they have a given name, I state “Hey,” and then their given name. If they don’t, I just state “Hey there,” (• Active Campaign). By developing a Message Variable in ActiveCampaign, I can quickly alter my welcoming according to whether I have the contact’s first name.

The interface for the HTML editor appears like it was pulled from some free open-source task. • Active Campaign.

Nevertheless, including images is a bit of a task. You have to pick them from a file web browser. There’s no drag and drop choice.
