Email Anatomy
Your email's structure consists of three main components: the header, body, and footer.
Header
The welcoming committee of your email, the header can showcase:
Your logo or an icon;
Pre-header text;
and a handy "view in browser" link.

Body
The body is the heart of your email, divided into sections that house your text, images, and buttons. Customise these sections with background colours or images, and adjust the padding for perfect alignment.
Sections
Adding a new section allows you to select the number of columns and their configuration:
💡 Top Tip: You can even display/hide sections dynamically based on the segment the recipient is in.
You can add as many sections as you like and apply different backgrounds, spacing and images to them to create interesting and engaging layouts. Don't forget to use the 'spacer' block to keep your content from touching other blocks.
and arrange them to create engaging and clever layouts. Individual sections can have different background images, background colors, and column padding options. Spacing below each section can be adjusted.
Blocks
Inside each section are 'blocks'. You've got several to choose from:
Text
Image
Spacer
Divider
Button
Video
Social media links
Here's a quick reference guide as to what they do:
BLOCK | USED FOR | HELPFUL HINTS |
Text | Headings and paragraphs | The text editing bar lets you select fonts, sizes, spacing, colour and other styling options.
Plus there's a cool AI writer button that can help you write unique content!  |
Image | JPGs, GIFs and PNGs | The image tool lets you upload your own imagery. But it's also got a 'Browse free images' library or you can enter an image URL from your website.  |
Spacer | Adding spacing between blocks or sections | Simply click and drag the little 20px to increase or decrease the spacing size.  |
Divider | Adding a divider line between blocks or sections | Adds a small divider line to break up text or sections. |
Button | Adding a button you can style the colour and size of | If you prefer buttons to hyperlinks, use the button block. In the button settings you can choose your text, link, size, shape, colour and more.
Great for links that need to stand out. |
Video | Adding video content from YouTube or Vimeo | The video block a shortcut - it automatically generates a 'still image' from your video, with a play button over the top. Clicking it will open up your video in browser window.
If you don't like the still, or want to change the play button then just use an image block to upload your own still+play button, and link it to your video's URL. |
Social media links | Insert social media icons that link to your social profiles | The fastest and easiest way to provide links to social media. Simply tick the boxes of the social channels you want to include, and paste in the URLs to each profile. You can even style the icons to your liking. |
Footer
The footer wraps up your email. Essential elements like your company details and the unsubscribe link ensure compliance with anti-spam laws, while additional content like privacy policies or permission reminders enhances transparency.
You can customise it by adding a logo and custom text.
👉 Important: All Campaigns and Automated Journey emails contain an unsubscribe link automatically, by default. Transactional emails require you to add one manually as transactional email can technically be a marketing or non-marketing email. Make sure you add one to remain compliant if your email is for marketing.
