The Drag and Drop Email Editor provides a user-friendly interface for effortlessly creating professional emails. With a variety of features, you can design visually appealing and effective emails with minimum effort.
Text, Image & Other Basic Blocks
It’s easy to create an email just by using the basics. You can drag and drop text, images, spacers, dividers and more to make your email look seamless in a matter of minutes.
Buttons
Create an easy way for your email readers to access your blog, shop, zoom call and more. With buttons, you can choose between the colour, text, size, font and more – to make sure it matches the rest of your email.
Menu
The menu block provides a simple way of creating horizontal menus. Add as many links as you like and select a separator. You can use this to link to your blog, pricing page, account pages and more.
HTML
Add your own HTML code to create an entire email, or parts of your email from scratch.
Global Fonts
Customize your global fonts! You can add and create custom fonts and once it is put in place, it will update the fonts across all of your emails.
This will help keep your design language across all emails consistent, as opposed to having to update it every single time you make a new email.
Colour Palettes
Instead of having to always remember all of your colour codes, you can choose up to 8 colours that will show up in the colour picker.
This will make it extremely easy to add your specific colours to every email that you create.
Block Inspector
The Block Inspector is a useful tool that will show you the blueprint of all the blocks you have inserted in your email. From this menu screen, you can drag and pull different categories to reorder your email with ease.
In the same menu, you also have desktop and mobile view buttons. These allow you to see how your email will look across different devices.
Columns Block
It is super easy to add columns to your email, all you have to do is drag and drop.
There are many different layout options to choose from, including 2, 3, or even 4 columns. You can change the gap between your columns to better suit your needs and also choose the alignment of your content within the columns.
Dynamic Posts Block
The posts block can be used to show a list of posts in your emails. The posts are dynamic, meaning they will pull from your latest posts! That makes it easy to create newsletters featuring recent content!
You can filter posts based on tags and categories. If you are a developer you can set a query id and filter the post query on the backend.
With a featured toggle button, you can choose whether you want to highlight a big blog post at the top or have all the posts in a simple grid format.
You can also enable/disable excerpts and thumbnails and customize the gap between the posts. Font and heading colours can also be tweaked as well as the number of posts that will be displayed in the email.
Global Socials/Socials Block
You can manage your social links in all of your emails. Add all of your links to Facebook, Instagram etc. so they will be saved for you every time you create a new email.
After that, you can easily drag and drop social blocks into your email editor. On the right-hand side, you can choose between global (which will be all the accounts you already input) or to customize which socials will be on display.
There are a variety of different social icons to choose from to help fit them into the theme of your email. Including circles and squares, or colourful, black and grey.
Footer Block
The footer block allows you to choose where it shows up in your email, as well as being able to choose the font, colour and alignment. This will make it appear more cohesive with the rest of your email.
Style Controls For Blocks
Here, you’ll find settings that give you even more flexibility for your email design.
You can control padding around the block, border controls, background colour, and more. There are also different responsive options, allowing you to hide certain blocks from mobile or desktop readers. With Custom CSS, you’re even able to take it a step further.
Conditional Visibility
Use the visibility controls to limit which contacts can view specific blocks. This would enable you to create sections only visible to contacts with a specific tag for example.
Once a block has visibility filters, a purple eye icon will appear in the corner so it’s easy to keep track of where you have placed these filters.
Undo/Redo Buttons
Make a mistake? Undo and redo can be used to avoid silly errors.
Countdown Timers
Countdown timers are an easy and effective way to add urgency to your emails! The Countdown block in the email editor will allow you to add Fixed (date-based), and evergreen countdowns to your email campaigns.
Templates
Start an email from scratch, import an HTML design, or choose from a variety of Groundhogg’s templates. With templates that feature your latest blog post, sales, and discount codes – there is so much to choose from.
