Change the email name that displays in the email archive widget on your website

Copy an email and change the subject line to replace the email name that displays in your website's email archive widget

The name of the email that displays in the email archive widget is pulled from the email's subject line after it's been sent. You can't change the subject line of a sent email, but you can copy your original email to create a new email with the correct subject line, and then replace the email that is displayed in the archive widget. This doesn't affect the email that your contacts originally received in any way. To do this:

1. Click Marketing channels > Email. 
   
    
    
2. Copy the email with the subject line you want to change.
   
   
    
3. In the email editor, update the subject line as you want it to appear in the email archive widget.
   Tip: It's also a good idea to change the campaign name of your copied email to make it clear that the subject line was changed. This will help you identify it in your account later. Your contacts and website visitors never see this name (see image in step 4 for example).
   
   
    
4. Emails that are in draft status aren't compatible with the archive widget, so you need to send the email next. From the Contacts tab, create a new list and only add your email address to it, then from the email's schedule page, send the email to your new list. Once sent, the email becomes compatible with the archive widget.
   
   
    
5. Remove the existing email from the archive widget.
   
   
    
6. Add the copied email to the archive widget to replace it.
   Note: Archived emails display on your website in order by the date that you add them to the archive widget, with the most recent displaying at the top of the list. If you want the email to remain in the same position as the original email, unarchive the emails that come after it and re-archive them in the order you want them to appear.
   
   
    

It takes about 15 minutes for the name changes to appear on your website.

Did you know? Using the same fonts and colors for your archive widget that you use in the branding of your website ties everything together. You can apply CSS styles to the code of the email archive widget to change the way the list of emails looks on your website. View examples here.
