Email Design
Arrange headers, body content, and footers in the builder canvas.
What this does
Email design is the layout of your message: header, body, and footer blocks inside the canvas.
Layout regions
- Header: global header blocks for the email.
- Body: the main content area where most widgets live.
- Footer: global footer blocks, including unsubscribe content.
You can toggle sections with the Header and Footer controls that appear on hover.
Design workflow
1
Open the builder
In a campaign, click Design email.
2
Place the layout
Drag widgets into the Header, Body, and Footer regions.
3
Adjust layout spacing
Use padding handles and block settings to refine spacing.
4
Preview before saving
Use Preview mode and device views (desktop/tablet/mobile) in the toolbar.
Preheader text
The builder includes a preheader area at the top of the email. Use it to add a short preview line that appears in inbox previews.
Images and background previews
- Image and background selections from Files keep saved crop and transform choices more consistently in builder previews.
- Email image optimization can still resize and compress Uploadcare images while preserving the selected crop path.
- Use image fit, width, border radius, alignment, and background color controls to fine-tune how images appear across desktop and mobile previews.
