Excerpt

Build your message starting from:

  • Basic templates: they are basically wireframes for your new message
  • Rich templates: they contain sample content to give you some design ideas
  • My templates: they are previously saved custom templates

For basic or rich templates, you can:

  • Preview it
  • Create a copy and save it as a custom template
  • Create a new message starting from the template, by clicking on NEW EMAIL.

In the "My Templates" section, you can also edit or delete templates.

Click on the icon on the right of the toolbar to expand it to "advanced" mode. Here you will find additional text editing tools, including advanced features such as merge tags (e.g. "Dear [firstname],").

Info

We would like to inform you that Google fonts are available to you in order to further customize your message. Please be aware that if you use them, your recipients' IP addresses may be tracked by Google. Further information, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

Structure

The Structure panel includes different types of structural elements for your message. Think of them of a way to create different sections of the message.

For example:

  • A single column section at the top with a hero image
  • A two-column section in the middle, with a recent product announcement
  • A three-column section in the lower part of the email, with some product information
  • Etc.
Whenever you need to switch to a different number of columns, introduce a new section by using the Structure panel.

Image Modified

Unlike content blocks available in BEE v1, the new structures provide much more flexibility and customization at both the row and column level. 

Also, you can now clone entire structures (for example, a picture, a button and a text) with all its settings and blocks. Previously you could only clone a single block of content.
