I guess we all know its possible now to do, but can marketo do it? 

Ideally play in the email, not on a landing page or redirect.

No problem! If you take a look at some of Marketos responsive templates, they use gifs in some of the pre-made templates...

Could be worth it to download it and take a look at the code, or even use the tempalte if it works for you (swap out gifs).

Hope it helps!

Ive done GIFS just code them in as a normal image <img src="link here"> Just make sure you apply some ALT text as well just i case the gif dosnt load. 

Videos you can apply the embeded code into the email and it should work fine. 

I'm used to hand coding all this in not useing marketos Design Studio. I'm asuming you can just save the image in marketo and import it just like you would any other image. 

But YES! it's possible. I do it all the time :) 


Note: I use custom templates and i'm not sure how that would effect anything with their CSS and inline styles

    Hi 

    Wondering if you can help me out! We work a lot with Flipbooks such as this one http://xchanging.turtl.co/flipbook/54588bf42167e40800a0f138  

    I want to be able to add the first slide image as a GIF into the body of my email, which they then click on and are taken to view it. 

    Is this possible? If so, How?!

    Thanks
    Alison
