  • Desktop Blocks: template blocks to insert inside of a table or template
  • Mobile Blocks: template blocks to insert inside of a table or template for mobile devices
  • Other categories organizing the template blocks by location: header, footer, social media, sidebar, etc.



  1. Once you find a template block you would like to use, select style options to customize it for your needs.
    1. Change the font, font size, and color scheme
    2. Adjust the table width and padding
  2. Click Insert and Close
  3. Edit the content of the inserted template block in the message editor

Desktop Example

Create a simple email like this in less than 10 minutes:
