Configure email-wide styling and footer

Configure email-wide styling

In the Drag & drop editor, with your email open on the canvas, open the Settings tab in the right-hand panel.

These settings apply to the whole email. To change one block only, select it on the canvas and override the style there.

Note

The dashed outlines around blocks on the canvas are editor-only guides. They aren’t part of the email recipients receive. The only dashed line that appears in the sent email is the Divider block’s dashed line style, if you choose it. Some defaults, such as visibility, can be set separately for desktop and mobile. See Edit the mobile view.

Document

Set the size and look of the whole email area:

• Width and padding
• Background image (with its own Fit and position) or gradient
• Gap between blocks
• Default image corner radius, content area corner radius, and content shadow

Set the solid background color for the whole email under Color scheme, not here.

Color scheme

Set the email’s palette:

• Background: solid color behind the entire email, including padding around cards and other blocks
• Text: page text
• Heading: heading styles
• Link: menu links that don’t have an explicit color

Other palette colors are used when you pick colors later in the editor and when you use AI to generate content. Blocks already on the canvas keep the colors you set on them.

Turn on Dark mode variant to set separate colors for clients that honor dark mode.

Typography

Set the email-wide font family. For each text style (Heading 1, Heading 2, Normal, and so on), set font size, font weight, line height, and letter spacing.

Sender details

In Sender details, set who the email is from and where replies go: From name and From email for the sender recipients see, Reply-to name and Reply-to email for where their replies land.

Block and layout defaults

Use these so new blocks match the email until you style a block on the canvas:

• Block defaults: background, background image, border color, border width, corner radius, and mobile/desktop visibility
• Columns defaults: outer padding, padding inside each column, and gap between columns
• Card defaults: starting look for Card containers
• Button group defaults: spacing and alignment for buttons in a group
• Button defaults: starting look for new Button blocks
• Divider defaults: line style, color, thickness, and width

Defaults apply only where a block does not set its own value. If you change Corner radius on a block, that setting replaces the email-wide default for all corners on that block. It does not mix corners from the default and the block.

Configure the email footer

In the Layers panel, select Footer to open its settings in the right-hand panel.

Every email includes a Footer block for legally required sender information and the unsubscribe link.

Note

Display conditions apply to blocks on the canvas, not the Footer. Learn more about display conditions.

Load or save a project footer

• Load from project: fill this email’s footer from your saved project-level footer.
• Save as project default: store the current footer as the starting point for future emails. Use this only when you want new emails to start from this footer.

Defaults are saved for this project only.

Email type and company info

1. Under Email type, choose Marketing or Transactional. For Marketing, the footer keeps the unsubscribe link. For Transactional, the unsubscribe link is omitted. Unsubscribe visibility follows this setting. Learn more about marketing vs. transactional messages.
2. Set the logo URL or pick a logo from the gallery.
3. Set the logo width in px.
4. Optionally set a Dark mode image the same way. Apple Mail and Outlook show it in place of the main logo when the recipient reads in dark mode. Gmail always keeps the main logo.
5. Optionally set a click-through link: choose an Action Type and enter the URL.
6. Fill in Company name, Postal address, and Copyright.

Caution

Marketing emails must include a physical postal address (CAN-SPAM).

Links and badges

1. Add labeled Footer links, such as Privacy Policy or Terms.
2. Add App store badges for App Store or Google Play with destination URLs.
3. Add Social links with icons that point to your social profiles.

Style

• Text color: footer text color
• Font size (px): footer font size
• Alignment: left, center, or right
• Underline links: turn on to underline footer links

Options

Set Unsubscribe link text for the managed unsubscribe link on marketing emails. Transactional emails omit the link.

Check before you save

When the footer and email-wide settings look right on the canvas, run Check before you save. See Check your email before sending.
