View in Browser

HTML Email Hosting lets you serve a static copy of your email campaign as a web page under your own marketing domain. When a recipient clicks the View in Browser link in their inbox, they see the full email rendered in a browser tab hosted at your Email Domain.

When you launch an email campaign in Engage Studio, the platform automatically:

1. Renders the email template as sanitized, static HTML.
2. Uploads the HTML to a dedicated folder in the Digital Asset Manager (DAM).
3. Publishes it at a stable HTTPS URL under your configured Email Domain.
4. Stores the resulting URL in the view_in_browser_url field on the campaign.

You can then insert {{campaign.view_in_browser_url}} anywhere in your email template — for example, as a link on a "View in Browser" text block — and the link resolves to the hosted page for each recipient.

The hosted HTML is non-personalized. All Liquid control blocks ({% if %}, {% unless %}, {% for %}, and similar tags) and recipient-scoped variables ({{profile.*}}, {{sender.*}}) are stripped during rendering so that no private data is exposed in the publicly accessible page.

Before using HTML Email Hosting, you must:

1. Register and verify an Email Domain with Digital Assets enabled.
   The hosting feature requires the DIGITAL_ASSETS DNS record to be deployed on your Email Domain. See Domain & DNS setup for instructions. After deployment, confirm that UPDATE_TO_DIGITAL_ASSETS_COMPLETED appears in the Deployment Events list on your domain configuration page.

2. Have HTML Email Hosting enabled for your account.
   Contact your Treasure AI account team or Treasure AI Support to enable it.

3. Have Full or Edit access to the workspace and campaign.
   Launching a campaign (which triggers HTML publishing) requires at least Edit-level workspace permission. See Workspaces and Permissions for details.

To insert the hosted URL into your email:

1. Open your email template in the Email Editor.

2. Add a text block or button where you want the link to appear (for example, "Having trouble viewing this email? View in Browser").

3. Select the link text or button and set its URL to:

   {{campaign.view_in_browser_url}}

4. Alternatively, use the Special Links panel in the Beefree editor toolbar. Under the ViewInBrowser category, click the View in Browser link item to insert it automatically.

   

When HTML Email Hosting publishes the page, the URL uses the following pattern:

https://engage-assets.{email_domain}/_media/_cs/{asset_collection_id}/{media_folder_id}/index.html

The page is served over HTTPS only. HTTP requests are blocked or redirected. The URL does not contain any recipient-level identifiers.

When you launch a campaign, Engage Studio automatically:

• Renders the email template against an empty recipient context to produce static HTML.
• Strips all Liquid tags, {{profile.*}} variables, {{sender.*}} tokens, and conditional blocks.
• Uploads the sanitized HTML to the preview_html DAM collection under a folder named after the campaign ID.
• Sets the campaign's view_in_browser_url field to the public HTTPS URL.

Re-launching a campaign overwrites the existing HTML at the same URL. Recipients who reload the page after a relaunch see the updated content.

Deleting a campaign removes the hosted HTML from DAM. Subsequent requests to the URL return 404 Not Found after the CDN cache expires.

HTML Email Hosting follows the same workspace permissions as campaigns.

See Workspaces and Permissions for how to configure policies.

• Non-personalized HTML only. Liquid control blocks and recipient-scoped variables are removed. The hosted page shows the email content as it appears before personalization.
• No "Test Send" preview. Using Test Send in the email editor does not generate a hosted HTML page. The view_in_browser_url link is only available after a campaign is launched.
• Single static version per campaign. Each campaign has one hosted HTML file. There is no versioning UI or rollback mechanism beyond re-launching the campaign.
• Maximum HTML file size: 10 MB. Emails whose rendered HTML exceeds 10 MB cannot be hosted.
• Publish failures block email delivery. If DIGITAL_ASSETS DNS is configured but the HTML publish step fails (for example, due to a transient error), the campaign launch is blocked and emails are not sent.

Does the hosted page update automatically when I edit the email template?
No. The HTML is captured at launch time. To update the hosted page, re-launch the campaign.

Can I use a custom path or filename for the hosted URL?
Not in this release. The URL is generated automatically using internal asset collection and folder identifiers.

How long is the hosted page available?
The page remains accessible until the campaign is deleted. There is no automatic expiry in the current release.

Is the hosted page indexed by search engines?
The server sets X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow on responses, instructing search engines not to index the page.

What happens if a recipient opens the page after the campaign is relaunched with updated content?
They see the latest version of the HTML, since re-launching overwrites the file at the same URL.
