Configure once - use forever! We automatically fetch and apply your logo, text, and button colors whenever you create your email. Read more about Brand assets in the dedicated guide.

We wanted to give you the freedom to create any content you want. We did this by providing more layout options to create emails with multiple columns where you can easily drag and drop items. Do you want two images on the right and text on the left? Or just text? Or draw attention to a product with a big picture and text below it? You can do all of these things; try it out!

Once you create a new email, you'll access our mobile-first email templates. This means that your emails will look even better on mobile devices. Browse through them or filter by the goal to select the one that fits your needs for your email.

We also have a plain text email for writing a friendly "from the founder "type of email. An HTML email is intended to add your custom code by adding your email's HTML body.

Once you pick a template, the system will take you to the Builder. On the right side, you can see Email settings that will help you style your email.

Here you can change the Width of the email and adjust Theme settings, including background and canvas colors in the Colors menu and button style in the Buttons menu.

Start with adding a layout to the email. Choose from an extensive pre-made layout library with many content options that allow you to create your email structure.

Click the 'Quick add' left side of your email to add a layout. You can choose all the different types of layouts that you want. Drag it to the place where you want to have it added.

To add a new item to the layout that you've created, open the Quick add menu and drag it to the section where you want to add it:

To move, delete or save the layout, use the controls on the left side. Use the controls on the right side to move, delete, or save a specific item.

You can leave some items empty, and the Builder will respect that space to create more focused and intricate layouts.

You can also redo/undo the changes you made in the Email Builder using the buttons in the top right corner. There are unlimited undo steps, so you can get to the beginning of designing with the possibility of starting from scratch.

Note! Reloading the page restarts the feature, so undo history will be lost.

You can save the email templates you create using the Email Builder for future use. When you're finished editing the email and wish to keep it as a template, click the little arrow in the top right corner and select the Save as template option.

You will see a popup window with two options:

Important! Once you create a campaign or automation, saved templates built with Email Builder will be available under Saved Templates.

You can also save the whole layout or a single item and use it multiple times in various emails. Simply click on the Save icon on the left side to save the entire layout or on the right side to save an item, and next time you need to use them - find them in the Library.

You may want to show a specific item for mobile or desktop users. To limit the visibility, click on the item you'd like to change the visibility for and choose the Layout tab.

Scroll down to Display settings → Choose which devices should show the item selected. You can show it to:

Is it possible to render emails built in the Email Builder without issues on Dark Mode devices?

Designing for Dark Mode can be challenging because email providers such as Gmail and Outlook, and email applications like Apple Mail and Android apps, all handle Dark Mode differently. Some email clients will invert colors, while others will simply change all colors to darker tones.
