Yes, there are two ways to use GIFs in an email.

  1. If you want the GIF to move in the email, create it on another platform, then save it as a GIF and upload it to the email via an image block.

  2. You can also use a GIF as a thumbnail that, when clicked, redirects to the GIF itself by linking its URL to the thumbnail image.

Once you have started a new email, here is how it works:

  • Add an Image Block to your email

  • Click on the Image Block and you will see the information about this specific picture pop up on the right

  • Under the 'Build' option, click 'Replace' and choose the image you would like to be the thumbnail for this GIF

  • Now, to add the link for the video, click 'Link Type'

  • Choose 'Web Address'

  • Paste the URL to your video in the Link box below

Save, then close, and you will have a GIF connected to the picture in the email.
