Add an Embed block to your ActiveCampaign page

Introduction

The Embed block is a versatile feature within ActiveCampaign that allows users to embed code snippets directly into their page layouts. This functionality enhances the content of your pages by enabling the inclusion of external media, such as Spotify playlists, Vimeo videos, and Facebook statuses. Understanding how to effectively utilize the Embed block is crucial for anyone looking to create dynamic and engaging landing pages that resonate with their audience.

How to Access the Embed Block

To access the Embed block, follow these simple steps: 1. Navigate to the page editor within your ActiveCampaign account. 2. Look for the Embed block available in the right pane of the page editor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Once you have accessed the page editor, you can easily add an Embed block to your page layout by following these steps:

1. **Drag and Drop:** From the right pane, drag the Embed block into your desired location on the page layout. 2. **Open Code Editor:** Click on the newly added Embed block to open the code editor.

3. **Insert Code:** Within the code editor, type or paste your desired code between the two paragraph `

` tags provided in the block. 4. **Save Your Changes:** After inserting your code, click the checkmark button located on the top right bar to save your content.  For future edits, simply reopen the page's editor, click on the Embed block you wish to modify, and enter new code in the same way.

Configuration Options and Settings

The Embed block offers various options to customize your embedded content: - **Drag to Resize:** After adding the block to your page, you can adjust its size to best fit your layout. - **Styling Features:** Similar to other blocks, customization options allow you to add styling to the Embed block, enhancing the visual appeal. - **Delete or Duplicate:** You can manage the Embed block easily; duplicate it by clicking on the duplicate icon in the top right, or remove it by selecting the block and clicking the trash icon.
