How to add an image carousel in a MailChimp email?

Currently, MailChimp does not have a built-in feature for creating a slideshow/image carousel directly within the emails. So you’ll have to do the workaround mentioned below to achieve this: 1. Create your slideshow using any tool, such as Google Slides, PowerPoint, etc., and export each slide as an image (JPEG or PNG). 2. Insert image blocks on your template in MailChimp for each slide of your slideshow and upload the corresponding images for each slide. 3. Arrange the image blocks in the order you want the slides to appear. 4. Preview your campaign to see how the slideshow looks on different devices. 5. Once satisfied with the slideshow, send your campaign to your subscribers.
