Create versions of marketing emails that are viewed in browser

Turn on the web version of your marketing email to automatically generate a page using the contents of the email. This can help users who are having issues viewing the email still receive the content. 

Once published, the web version of your email will be available through a link in the body of your email, but will not be indexable by search engines like Google.

Understand limitations and considerations

• The email's web version will not be live until the corresponding email is sent. 
• Web versions of automated emails will always reflect the most recently updated version of that email. 
• The HubSpot tracking code will not be included in the web version of your email, and any associated views won't be tracked in traffic analytics or campaigns.
• Only contact and company personalization tokens will render in the web version of your marketing email. All other personalization tokens will only show the fallback value. 
• If you included a product or abandoned cart module in your email, products in the module will not render in the web version.
• Web versions of emails are not available in HubSpot free trial accounts.
