Start your email content from scratch

From the Email Designer home page, select the Design from scratch option.

Start designing your email content by dragging and dropping Structures into the canvas to define the layout of your email.

NOTE

Stacking columns is not compatible with all email programs. When not supported, columns are not stacked.

Add as many Structures as needed, and edit their settings in the dedicated pane on the right.

Select the n:n column component to define the number of columns of your choice (between 3 and 10). Define the width of each column by moving the arrows at the bottom of each column.

NOTE

Each column size cannot be under 10% of the total width of the structure component. You cannot remove a column that is not empty.

From the Components section, drag and drop as many elements as needed into one or more structures. Learn more about content components

Customize each component using the Settings or Style tabs on the right. For example, change the text style, padding, or margin of each component. Learn more about alignment and padding

Add links to your content.

Click the Links tab from the left pane to display all the URLs of your content that will be tracked. Modify their Tracking Type or Label, and add Categories if needed.

If needed, personalize your email further by clicking Switch to code editor from the advanced menu. This allows you to edit the email source code, for example, to add tracking or custom HTML tags. Learn more about the code editor
