When you need to create multiple variations of email for different segments the Dynamic content can be your savior because it removes the need to create multiple variations.
Dynamic content helps you to replace the content within an email based on a particular data point for your records. You can use Dynamic content on Landing pages and your own website, for example, you can tailor the digital experience based on what you know about that person.
Here is an Example to use Dynamic Content in Email Template
In Pardot, click in the email where you want to add dynamic content.
Click the in the editor.
From the first dropdown, select the dynamic content to include.
Use the preview dropdown to preview different variations.
To insert the content, click OK. Depending on the merge language your account uses, it appears as a PML variable tag or HML merge field.
Here you can check this Screenshot
NOTE: The dynamic content variation populates in the recipient’s inbox. Verify the dynamic content by creating a test prospect that matches the criteria for each variation. Then add the prospects to a test list.

Learn the best practices and tips for setting up email sending domains in Pardot with this comprehensive guide. Ensure your emails reach the inbox every time! Before sending emails through Pardot, add the Email Sending Domain in Pardot.
In Pardot, the email addresses of your users will determine which domain is used when sending emails. For example, if you send a Pardot email and choose user@yourcompany.com as the sender email, yourcompany.com is the domain that would be used. That is the domain that will need to be configured in Pardot, and Pardot will provide you DNS entries, and these DNS entries will need to be placed in your DNS. If your users have different domains, each one that will be used will need to be configured.
The Email Sending Domain involves 3 separate DNS entries:
Add SPF and DKIM Records to Your DNS
Domain: info.yourwebsite.com
Have your IT team add TXT records for SPF and DKIM to your sending domain’s DNS record.
1. Add Pardot’s SPF statement to your SPF record.
If you don’t have an SPF record, add a TXT record with this statement: @ -> v=spf1 include:aspmx.pardot.com ~all
If you do have an SPF record, add this statement, and move ~all to the end:@ -> include:aspmx.pardot.com

Pardot Automation Rules
1. IMPROVE YOUR LEAD QUALIFICATION MODEL
“Automation rules are a powerful way to customize your scoring and grading models. Consider customizing your global, baseline scoring rules, while using automation rules as an additional layer of measuring and responding to customer engagement and intent. You might look at prospects who meet a certain scoring threshold in addition to specific, tracked activities to do things like:
Increment score even higher. The combination of certain activities may be even more valuable and indicative of buying intent, wherein the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Create a task in Salesforce for the assigned rep. Sales will find great value in real-time alerts through Salesforce Engage. Up the ante by automating task creation for sales users when their Leads or Contacts are especially engaged and ready to buy.
Alert a member of the marketing team. This is a way to proactively alert marketing to affirm the effectiveness of their lead qualification model or to encourage them to revisit their model to regularly improve and iterate.”
2. CUSTOMIZE AUTORESPONDER EMAILS
Autoresponder Emails are emails that are triggered automatically whenever the prospect engages with your marketing assets.
“Increase personalization and content engagement by sending custom autoresponder emails to prospects who complete forms. Automation rules can be configured to assess field criteria in combination with form submission data to push specific autoresponder emails to prospects who complete forms.”
Autoresponder emails can be used:
After prospects submit a form on your website, they will receive an autoresponder welcome email.
A prospect submits a form to download a file on your website and receives an autoresponder email with a link to download the file.
A confirmation email for event registration.
Last but not least, here is a simple follow-up email.

Follow these steps to create a Welcome Journey program for new prospects.
Step 1, add a competition action on form, choose action add to List, and select a list for the subscriber which you want to add after fill-up the form.

Feedback emails should make it easy for your customers to engage with you in the way they most prefer. So don’t forget to include a “Contact us” option and social media links. The “Contact Us” section and social share buttons are often neglected during email template design. It’s important that your email recipients can contact you with any questions or comments. Missing either of these elements can hinder communication between your clients and company, your clients and potential clients, or your prospects and company (depending on the type of email).

You can always link them out to more resources. If you are sending emails to prospects who are in the early stages of the buying cycle, keep your content light and educational. Focus on thought leadership articles and blog posts instead of promoting late-stage sales collateral like buyers guides, white papers, and recorded webinars.
Finally, make sure to optimize your send times, so your emails are hitting your reader’s inbox at the right moment.
