Hi,

We have a requirement to add preheader in our Emails. Could you Please let me know how to add it?

Below is the Sample email with and without preheader

Regards,

Pravallika.

The idea is to put text content directly in the body of our email first (just after the opening of <body>). Then, by using some style declarations via CSS, we will hide this preheader text:

<body style="margin: 0;" bgcolor="#ffffff">
    <!-- ====================
          <Preheader formatting>
          ===================== -->
    <div> 
        <span style="color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0px;display: none !important;overflow: hidden;">
          Add 40-100 Characters of Preheader Text Here
            <!-- These HTML entities add 100 white space characters after the preheader.  This prevents unwanted text from elsewhere in the email from cluttering the preheader text space. -->
      &#847; &zwnj; &nbsp;&#847; &zwnj; &nbsp;&#847; &zwnj; &nbsp;&#847; &zwnj; &nbsp;&#847; &zwnj; &nbsp;
      &#847; &zwnj; &nbsp;&#847; &zwnj; &nbsp;&#847; &zwnj; &nbsp;&#847; &zwnj; &nbsp;&#847; &zwnj; &nbsp;

Hi @LakshmiPravallika ,

You can use the below script,

<head>
<style type="text/css">
.preheader {
display: none !important;
visibility: hidden;
opacity: 0;
color: transparent;
height: 0;
width: 0;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>

<div><span class="preheader" style="color:transparent; display:none !important; height:0; opacity:0; visibility:hidden; width:0">

Enter your preheader here

</span></div>

</td>
</tr>

Inside Body content, This preheader script should be given in the top of all other contents.

How preheader works: This preheader text will be hidden in mail html rendering and this preheader you can be seen below subject line in your inbox as in your screenshot.
