Change Font in Zendesk Email Templates

Learn how to customize fonts in Zendesk email templates by editing the HTML content placeholder.

How can I change the font in my Zendesk email templates?

To change the font in your Zendesk email templates, you'll need to edit the content placeholder in the email HTML template. This involves replacing the current{{content}}placeholder with a custom template that specifies your desired font styles.

Start by identifying the default styles used in your email by sending a test email to yourself. Once you have the default styles, you can replace them with your preferred styles using a template like this:

{% if content contains "font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', 'Tahoma', Verdana, sans-serif;" %} {{content | replace: "font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', 'Tahoma', Verdana, sans-serif;", "font-family: Helvetica, serif;" | replace: "font-size: 14px;", "font-size: 30px;" | replace: "color:#2b2e2f;", "color:#333300;"}} {% else %} {{content}} {% endif %}

This template checks if the content contains the default font and replaces it with your chosen font, size, and color. For more details, check out theoriginal guide.
