Hi everyone,

I am desperately trying to figure out how to create an HTML email with gmail.

I created a design in Photoshop with hyperlinks and saved it for the web in html format.

I watched a lot of tutorials and everything looks so simple: copy/paste the html code in the gmail message (inspect element) but it doesn't work. From what I understood, it is not possible to do it like that anymore since the end of 2014.

I also downloaded the "html inserter for gmail" add-on on Chrome but it's not working.

Please help, I don't know what to do.

Sorry if my english is not perfect, it's not my native language.

Thank you.

It needs one little extra piece: a software engineer. No, this is not a person who does copy/paste and watches video.

Do you mean that there is no way for me to create a HTML email on my own?

No, I didn't mean that at all. At this moment, you are discussing the problem as a non-engineer. But you can become one yourself, certainly. Only you should understand that it is achieved by doing software development yourself (and a lot of other things), which is nothing like copy/paste and watching video.

Wish you the best of luck.

Is this question about programming issue?

Member 12156147 20-Nov-15 17:53pm

I hope not , I am not a programmer at all.
I created a design in Photoshop (.psd) with hyperlinks that I then exported in html.
I want to insert the html page into my gmail message, it is only one page like an email marketing campaign/newsletter. I would like to find a way to send it from my email address without using an email service provider.

Thank you.

As you might have understood by now, this is a programming forum so your question is a little bit off topic. If you have problems with the actual HTML code, then you can come back and ask about that.

If what you want to do is to write HTML code in a gmail body and then send it, this link might help you.
