Adding Text to Email Templates

Use the text content component to add text to your email.

To add text to your email:

With your email template open, drag the text content component to the layout.
Click the text content block and use the text toolbar and Text panel to change your email copy.

To add text, click the text content block and begin typing. You can use the text toolbar to change the formatting of the text.

Note: Not all fonts will render in a mobile client. The more common web-safe fonts are at the top of the font drop-down list.

Note: The Visual Template Designer sets the line-height in pixels so that emails can render properly in Microsoft Outlook.
