Editing a CYO (Create Your Own) Email

The WYSIWYG email builder provides an easy-to-use interface for building new emails from scratch. You can drag-and-drop content blocks including text, images, videos, and links. You can rearrange content and add new rows or columns by dragging-and-dropping structure blocks.

This article describes how to open the WYWIWYG email builder and general information about the different tasks you can do inside it. Learn more about building your own emails at Advanced Email Editing.

To open the WYSIWYG email builder:

1. Navigate to Campaigns > My Campaigns.
2. Open the campaign that contains the email you want to edit.
3. In Mailings, click the name of the email to open it.
4. Click Edit and navigate to the Personalize Email tab.
5. Click Edit.

6. Select a template to start from, if you're editing for the first time. You can select a layout template now, or select blank to build a new template from scratch. Learn more at Manage Templates.

   

   If you have a Default Template set (under > Settings > Manage Templates if you're the administrator), that template will automatically be applied. To change the template, click Templates > Change Templates and select from the pop-up.

Once your builder is open, you can use Content / Rows / Settings panels customize the page. For more information about the options available in the builder, see Content/Formatting/Display Options for Marketing and Comms Content.

To get started building your own email, we suggest starting with the Settings tab. Here, you can set global changes that will apply to all new rows and content blocks that you add to the email. These settings can be overridden for each row or content block in the Content Properties tab for each content block and Row Properties tab for each row.

For more on adding images, buttons, landing pages, social media links, and HTML, see Advanced Email Editing.

After adding content to the email, activate it. To learn more about activating emails, see Manage Emails.
