Gmail Annotation Tool FAQs
Q: What are Gmail Annotations?
A: Gmail Annotations are little bits of extra information that can be displayed in and around the normal sender name and subject line in Gmail inboxes. This information is pulled from a block of code that you include in the HEAD of your email campaign's HTML code.
Q: I added the code to an email but it's not showing when I get the campaign in my Gmail inbox?
A: Adding the code does not guarantee that Google will show those annotations along side your email in your audience's inboxes. That said, the only way to be sure they don't show any annotations is to not include the code.
Q: My code doesn't seem to be working, what's up?
A: This is a brand new tool and there may still be bugs to work out. If you find one, just let us know and we'll get it fixed.
Q: Why does nothing happen in the preview window for the offers start/end time annotations?
A: The only way that "Expires in..." annotation will show up is if you have correctly formatted dates in those inputs and those dates are at least a day apart. Gmail requires those to be in ISO 8601 format (ie, 2024-01-04T12:44:37-07:00) to work.
Q: I updated the cuurency in the annotations builder but it still shows a $ by the numbers.
A: Right now the preview window does not change when you change the currency in our Gmail Annotations builder. Don't worry, though, it will show up in the actual code itself.
