How to use the drag & drop editor

Anyone can design a clean, branded email using our simple drag & drop editor. In the sidebar you will see two tabs: Blocks and Settings.

Blocks

Under the Blocks tab, you will find all of the blocks you can use to build your email template. 

The blocks you can choose from include:

• Image - Use this block to add an image, such as your logo, to your template

• Text - The text block can be used to add any text to your email including headings and subheadings

• Button - Use this block to redirect recipients to an external link using a button

• Divider - Dividers are used to separate your email into sections by adding a small line between blocks

• Spacer - Spacers are used to separate your email into sections by adding a larger empty space between blocks

• Article - The article block displays an article with a featured image, excerpt and button linking to the article

• Product - The product block allows you to display a product image, product description, price and CTA in your template

• Table - Use this block to embed a table in your template

• Signature - This block allows you to add a personalized signature and profile picture to your template

• Code - The code block allows you to add custom HTML to your template

• Sections - There are 2 sections blocks. One containing 2 columns and one containing 3 columns. The sections blocks allow you to divide email content into columns. Once you have added a sections block, you can drag and drop other blocks into each column

To add blocks to your email template, drag and drop the blocks you wish to use into the body of your email.
