Making Layout and Element Blocks Dynamic

If you have dynamic content enabled in the email, you can set individual layout blocks to dynamically change their displayed content based on the rules or personas set for the block.

To make a layout block dynamic, create or edit an email from the Email page in Lead Gen & CRM's left toolbar.

1. In the Email Designer toolbar, click    Dynamic Content Rules.
2. Add a rule group to the email.
   
   

    

3. Select an existing rule or create a new dynamic rule group.
4. Click Save if you've selected an existing rule. Click Create and Add Dynamic Content Rule to this Email if you've created a new rule.
    
   Note: Only a single dynamic rule or persona set can be active at a time for a layout block or element.
   
   

    

5. In      Dynamic Content Rules, select your rule group and Build A New Segment.
   
   

    

6. Define your segment. 
   
   

    

7. Hover over your layout block or element to click    Add a Rule Group to Make This Element Dynamic.
8. Select your new Rule Group.
   
   

    

9. Select the desired persona or rule entry from the list of available personas or rules.
