Email Builder

The Email Builder provides an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface, allowing users to create engaging email content without needing advanced coding skills. It is divided into two primary sections:

1. Template Gallery

The Template Gallery contains a wide range of pre-designed templates to help users create email content quickly. These templates are categorized for easy access:

  • Seasonal: Templates designed for holidays and special events.
  • Automated: Pre-built templates for automated workflows like welcome emails, order confirmations, abandoned cart reminders.
  • Usage: Templates tailored for specific use cases such as event invitations, announcements, surveys.
  • Industry: Templates suited for various industries such as e-commerce, finance and retail.

Users can browse through these categories and view the details of any template to see its design and structure. Each template can be easily customized to fit the userโ€™s needs. If you want to create a new template from scratch, the Blank Content option guides users through the process of designing and saving a custom template for future use.

2. Saved Templates

The Saved Templates section stores previously created templates. The screen is divided into two main sections: All Saved Templates and Created by Me. This allows users to easily access, reuse, or modify their own custom-designed templates for future campaigns. Users can also search for specific templates within this section to quickly locate the content they need.

Once you have selected your email template, you will be redirected to the Email Builder page, where you can begin building your email. The interface provides two viewing modes: Mobile and Desktop, allowing you to see how your email will appear on different devices.

The screen is divided into two main sections. On the left side, you will find the "Drop Content Blocks Here" area, where you can drag and drop elements to build the structure and content of your email. On the right side, there are three key categories:

  1. Content โ€“ This section contains various elements such as paragraphs, images, buttons, and more, which you can drag into the content area.
  2. Rows โ€“ In this section, you can select different layout structures, such as one-column, two-column, or multi-column rows, to define the layout of your email.
  3. Settings โ€“ This section allows you to adjust overall email settings like background color, default font, and other visual elements that affect the appearance of your entire email.

You can freely switch between these categories to customize the design and layout of your email.
