Click the image search button next to the source

Select all Images and Folders by clicking in the bottom-right of each icon/image.

Click "Manage" and then "Download"

Find the downloaded folder, and extract the images so they're not in a .zip. This can be done many ways, But the easiest is to create a folder with the dealer name, open the zipped folder, and drag the images into the new folder.

Migrating Emails

These steps will have to be repeated for all emails running in an account. A list and reference guide will be provided at the end of the instructions.

Before you get started, open your favorite text editor (we will be using Notepad++)

Open the email in SharpSpring, click the three dots in the top-right corner, and select "View Code"

Click into the code, and press "ctrl+a" to select all of the code.

Copy and Paste the code into your text editor.

Press "ctrl+f" to open the "find" function in your text editor and search for all instances of the string "img src".

Look for all image source links. They will look something like this:

When you find a link, head to the images you just uploaded in Marketo and search for the file name (the underlined portion here) using the "Quick Find" box at the bottom of the list

Click on the image, copy the URL, and replace the source URL in the code.

So this:

Will become:

Now that you have the image code, you can replace the static portion of the URL without having to search for each image.

Our next link:

Will change to

Once you've replaced all of the image source code, press "ctrl+a" to select all of the code. Copy it with "ctrl+c"

Go to "Marketing Activities" in Marketo. Find the client's workspace and find the program for the email you're working on. In this case, we're updating the welcome email, so we'll go to the generic "Web Request" program.

Open the "Assets" folder and find the email that is sent to customers.

Edit the email, and select "Edit Code" at the top of the page.

"Ctrl+a" to select all the code and then delete it. Paste in the updated code from your text editor.

Press "Save" and scan the email for any major issues.
