​

Formatting text

Once you have written content in your email, you will see formatting options appear in the right-hand panel. These options will change depending on the element you have selected in the email. You can choose between different headings, style text bold, italic, underline as well as add links. You can also change text size and color. Text can also be easily changed into lists, quotes and inline code blocks.

​

Writing mode

To focus on writing your email, you can enter Writing mode. To toggle writing mode, use the switch just above the editor or use the ⌘+/ (Mac) or Ctrl+/ (Windows) keyboard shortcut. When in Writing mode, you can edit styles by clicking the Show styles button that appears above selected elements. This will open a slide-in editor panel on the right

​

Adding elements

Emails can be more than just text. You can add the following elements to your emails:

• images
• links
• buttons
• dividers
• social icons
• columns
• arrays

You can add elements from the toolbar above the editor, or by hovering over an existing element in your email and clicking the + plus icon on the left. You can also add elements by typing / in the editor: If you continue typing, you can narrow down the selections. You can use your arrow keys to select items and pressing Enter will confirm your selection. When adding dynamic content like contact properties to personalize emails, you can type ”{” to open the dynamic content menu.

​

Reordering content

If you hover over a block in your email, you’ll see a drag-and-drop icon appear on the left. You can drag this icon to re-order elements in your email.

​

Footer content

We add an automatic footer into campaign and loops emails, which includes your company name, address and an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribe links help prevent your messages from being marked as spam and ensure that your messages are willingly being received by an engaged audience, helping your deliverability. The unsubscribe link leads to a Preference Center, where your contacts can manage their own subscriptions. You can edit your company address from Settings -> Domain. If your email was sent to a mailing list, the footer will also include the name of the list the email was sent to.
