The Designer email editor

On the Settings tab you'll be able to manage the general settings of the email template:

• The width: Fixed for smartphones, but modifiable within the desktop view.
• The content area alignment: Left or center.
• The general background and the content area background colors: As you can see, you can even introduce a very precise HTML color code.
• A default font: There are many options, but if you could not find the right one for your institution, it is possible to add a font to the options though a service request.
• A default link color.

On the Rows tab, you will be able to build the layout of your email by dragging and dropping rows with differently sized columns where you'll be able to allocate content afterwards.

However, at any moment you'll be able to readjust the size of the columns, and even add new ones just by selecting the row:

In the image above, you can see that when you select a row of a template, you'll be able to access the "Row properties", add comments, delete it, duplicate itand save it.

You can also click on this symbol to move the block around.

Within the "Row properties" you'll be able to set up many other options (see picture on the left). Here are a few interesting ones:

• Do not stack on mobile: the column division of the row will not be altered. If you choose to stack them they'll be displayed one on top of the other on the mobile visualization.
• Reverse stack on mobile: the columns of a row will be stacked from right to left instead of from left to right.
• Display condition - Add condition button: Not available yet.
• You could hide the row when displayed on a desktopor on a mobile.

• You can customize the columns width, as seen above too.

  • You can customize the style of each column: background color, padding (distance between the border of the column and the text), borders and their style.

You can also select the "Saved rows" and search them by key word: Saving a row is particularly useful to save footers, logos and links to social media or partners, as well as signatures.

When saving a row it is highly recommended to save it with a strategic name so that each organization within your institution can easily find theirs.

In order to add content, you just need to drag and drop, into the columns of the rows, almost any of the content blocks that you can see in the picture on the left: The "Dynamic content" is not supported yet.

When clicking on a content block, you'll be able to see the small black menu appear (see picture above). Aside from very common formatting options, you'll find a few other interesting ones:

• Special links: They are the same as the ones that were automatically inserted in your email template from the very beginning: "View in browser" and "Unsubscribe".
• Merge tags: They enable you to introduce dynamic fields that will be automatically filled out with the information of each contact you'll send your campaign to. On the right you can see a picture of all the merge tags that are currently available. We will learn more about the Invitation/advantage code in the "How to create a campaign" chapter of this training unit. Below you can find how a merge tag will be displayed within the text of your email template:

When selecting a content block already dropped on your template, you'll see that a whole new set of options are available now within the Content tab:

• The font family: By default, the global font will be selected (this is the font chosen in the parameters tab), but you can change it within any content block.
• The font weight (regular or bold) and size.
• The text and link colors: Also set by default in the parameters tab, but here, as the for family, you can modify them per content block.
• The alignment of the text, the space between the paragraphs (paragraph spacing), the space between the lines (line height) and the space between each letter (letter spacing).

At the very bottom, you'll see that you can also set specific content bock options regarding the padding (space between the text and the borders of the bock), and the display of the block:

You could hide a specific block only, instead of a whole row, when the email is displayed on a desktop or on a mobile screen.

For example: Here I chose to hide the "New paragraph block" when displayed on a mobile (see picture below). As you can see, when the eye button is selected , you'll be able see any hidden block on your template... blurry. But as soon as you unselect it, it will disappear.

Hereunder we are going to explore the particularities of some of the content blocks.

Once the image has been selected, there are several options to adjust the size of an image:

• Auto width: This will fit the image within the column.
• If the auto width is turned off, you'll be able to adjust the image as a percentage within the width of the column. In this case it can be interesting to choose an alignment option for the picture.
• And also choose if you want the picture, which has been adjusted as a percentage of the width of the column its when displayed on a desktop, to be displayed at full width on mobile.

The "Dynamic image" is not supported yet.

You can also "Change image" and select, upload or import another image file from the file manager, and even "Apply effects and more": The picture below is the pop up screen that will appear once you click on that button. As you can see, there are a lot of options that can be accessed directly from the editor.
