The Visual Email Builder lets you easily create Do-It-Yourself (DIY) email for custom marketing communication using Artificial Intelligence and a drag-and-drop email builder.

*The template will automatically include a shortcode to address your contacts by first name, sample text, email signature, and disclosures.

Editing Details (Subject, From Name/Email, Reply Email)

  1. Click the "More actions" button at the top right corner of the email builder.
  2. Select "Edit Details" on the dropdown that opens up.

Adding an Image

  1. You can drag and drop the image button to the location where you want to add an image to the email template.
  2. Use the menu on the right to choose the image that you would like to use.  
    • You can use the ✨Magic Image feature to create an AI-generated image, upload an image from your library, or click "More Images" to choose an image from our stock photos library.
    • If you'd like the image to link to a new website, scroll down to the Actions section and add a URL.
    • To make the image smaller, you can toggle the "Auto On" option off on the Width section and slide the indicator to the desired size.

Adding Columns

You can also use the Columns icon to create smaller spaces and a more dynamic layout. You can then add different elements to each space. 

  1. Drag the columns option to the email template.
  2. Drag and drop the element you would like to place on the right section of the column. 

Adding a Call to Action Button

If you'd like your contacts to take a specific action, it can be helpful to add a clickable button that grabs their attention.

  1. Drag and drop the Button icon to the location where you would like the button to appear.  
  2. Add a URL on the right-hand menu that directs the contact to either open a website, send an email, or call a phone number.
  • The menu on the right allows you to change the color, font, border, and alignment of the Call to Action Button.
  •  You can use the ✨Smart Button feature to get suggestions for alternate ways to phrase your Call to Action.

Adding a Header

If your email contains a lot of text, you may want to add Headers to increase readability and make important information stand out. 

  1. Drag the Header icon into the area of the email where it is needed.  
  2. Use the menu on the right to edit the heading type, font, color, or alignment.

Using AI-Assisted Features

Some features within the AI-powered Email Builder have enhanced AI capability, as shown by the 3 stars in the top right corner of the icon.

  • For Headings, Images, and Buttons, you can access the AI Assisted functionality by clicking on the correct element within your email template and using ✨Smart features on the menu to the right.

Adding/Editing Text

Using Smart Text

  1. To use the AI Assisted functionality with Text fields, write your first draft of the text in the field. 

  2. Click on the ✨Smart Text button in the editor.
  3. Choose one of the given options.


Adding a Hyperlink to Text

  1. To add a hyperlink, highlight the text that you would like to hyperlink.

Using the Audit Function

The Audit Button is found in the toolbar on the bottom righthand side of the email builder.  This function will indicate anything that you should double-check before finalizing your email.


Previewing Your Email

When you have completed your email template, be sure to click "Save" in the upper right-hand corner. 

We recommend both previewing and sending a test email to ensure everything looks and functions as expected.  You can do this from the personalization timeline or from inside the AI-Powered Email Builder itself.

FAQs

Does this tool need to be approved by compliance?
Compliance and AI content features are all about the generated content, not the method of its creation. Be it an AI or a human copywriter, you don't need to get a copywriter compliance-approved—it's their output that needs a review. Our AI is also solely used for crafting marketing content—it doesn't handle any Personal Identifiable Information (PII).

Can you view the source code for the created email?
Since this new drag-and-drop style template eliminates the need to code your layout, the source code isn't currently viewable. 

Does the AI get smarter the more it’s used?
Yes, it does! However, it will not remember your preferred tone, and you should still select a Friendly or Formal tone or add your preference within your prompt.
