How to show or hide block on a mobile device?
Last updated July 15, 2024
You can show or hide a block in a template based on the device on which the email is being opened i.e desktop or mobile.
For example, I have a button in my template which redirects to my play store app. This button is only relevant for mobile users. With the hide feature, I can hide this button for email recipients viewing the email on a desktop. The button will only be visible to those who are viewing the email on mobile devices.
Prerequisite
1. This feature is only applicable to blocks and forms. The feature is not available for widgets.
2. If the width of the device on which the email is being viewed is less than 480px, then mobile version will be shown. If the width is more than 480px, then desktop version will be shown.
Show / hide functionality may not work on certain version of Yahoo and Outlook email clients. So, please remember to test the email on actual devices before sending the campaign.
