On this page: Learn how to use ready-to-use modules — such as headers, hero sections, product cards, and footers — to speed up email creation in the Email Designer without building structures from scratch.
The Email Designer includes a library of modules: ready-to-use, fully structured content blocks designed to accelerate email assembly and promote design consistency across your communications.
Unlike content components, which are empty placeholders that you configure from scratch, modules are pre-built sections — such as a branded header, a product card grid, or a footer with opt-out links — that you drop directly onto your canvas and customize from there.
Access and insert modules access-modules
To display and leverage the available modules in the Email Designer, follow the steps below.
-
Open your email in the Email Designer.
-
In the left pane, click the Modules tab.
-
Browse the available module categories, or use the search bar to filter by name.
-
Click the > arrow next to a category to expand it and view available layout variants.
-
Locate the module variant you want to use, then drag and drop it directly onto your email canvas.
-
The module is inserted with its default content. Click any element on the canvas to start editing content inline. Click any text area to type directly, or click an image to replace it using your asset library.
note NOTE When email themes are applied to your content, theme styles are inherited automatically by modules, ensuring brand consistency across your design. Learn more about email themes -
Use the Settings and Styles tabs in the right pane to adjust properties and styling, just as you would for any other email element.
-
You can also add content components directly to the module. Switch to the Components tab in the left pane, then drag and drop a component into the module. The component inherits the module’s styling by default, but you can override it as needed.
Available modules available-modules
The following module categories are available out of the box. Multiple layout variants are available for each module — for example, single-column, two-column, and three-column grids. Expand the module categories to select the variant that fits your layout.

- TL;DR: This page explains how to use the Email Designer’s ready-to-use modules — predefined, reusable layout blocks such as headers, hero sections, cards, and footers — to assemble emails faster and promote design consistency.
Intents:
- Access modules from the Modules tab in the left pane of the Email Designer
- Drag and drop a ready-to-use module variant onto the email canvas
- Customize a module’s content inline and adjust it from the Settings and Styles tabs
- Add content components into a module from the Components tab
- Save a customized module as a visual fragment to reuse it across other emails and messages
- Choose among the available module categories and their layout variants
Glossary:
- Module: A ready-to-use, fully structured content block — a predefined, reusable email layout block — that you drag and drop into the email canvas and customize through the WYSIWYG interface (product-specific)
- Modules tab: The tab in the left pane of the Email Designer where you browse, search, and insert modules (product-specific)
- Content component: An empty placeholder that you configure from scratch, in contrast to a pre-built module (product-specific)
- Visual fragment: A saved, reusable piece of content that a customized module can be saved as, so it can be reused across other emails and messages (product-specific)
Guardrails:
- Modules are not fragments — they exist within the email you are designing; to reuse a customized module elsewhere, save it as a visual fragment.
- When email themes are applied to your content, theme styles are inherited automatically by modules.
- Content components added to a module inherit the module’s styling by default, but you can override it as needed.
- Footers include required opt-out and mirror-page links.
Terminology:
- Canonical name: module — Acronym: n/a — variants: modules, email layout modules, layout blocks, content blocks
- Synonyms: “module” = “ready-to-use content block”
- Do not confuse: “module” (pre-built, fully structured section) ≠ “content component” (empty placeholder configured from scratch); “module” ≠ “fragment”
FAQ:
- Q: How do modules differ from content components? — Content components are empty placeholders you configure from scratch, whereas modules are pre-built sections you drop onto the canvas and customize from there.
- Q: Are modules the same as fragments? — No. Modules are not fragments and exist within the email you are designing, but you can save a customized module as a visual fragment to reuse it.
- Q: Which module categories are available out of the box? — Headers, Hero, Testimonial, Cards, Teams, and Footers, each with multiple layout variants such as single-column, two-column, and three-column grids.
- Q: Can I add content components inside a module? — Yes. Switch to the Components tab in the left pane and drag and drop a component into the module; it inherits the module’s styling by default.
- Q: Do modules follow my email theme? — Yes. When email themes are applied, theme styles are inherited automatically by modules.
