Creating the template

In order to use custom CSS inside of an Iterable in-app, you must create a template via the WYSIWYG editor. If you are very uncomfortable with HTML, then you can build your in-app in the Beefree editor and export it to HTML for upload.

Notes

You must use full screen view to render this in-app carousel.

Example code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title></title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover">
