How to edit an email template?
You can easily modify one of InSend's templates or create your own in the editor. Change the text, insert images, and add links, buttons, and blocks with products.
Email template
If you have created a new email, you will first see the “Template” step. Select the appropriate color scheme in left top and content template here. Looks okay? Click “Next”. The color scheme applied to all the buttons in blocks, including popular products or cart.
Important! If you click “Next”, edit the email, and then want to change the template, you will lose all changes. The email will have to be edited again with a new template. Be careful! InSend will show a warning when you return to the “Template” step.
Images in the email
You can edit the content of the email at the “Content” step.
The picture from the template can be replaced with your logo or other image. Just click on the picture of paper airplanes and a black panel for picture editing will appear. You can change the picture to your own, add a link, or delete the picture.
If you do not need a block with a picture in this email, you can delete it by clicking on the icon with the recycle bin. At any time, you can return a block by simply dragging it to the body of the email from the panel on the left.
The text of the email
To edit the text, just select the required piece and start typing.
The edit panel appears. You can change the font and its size and style. It is possible to add a table, link, picture, or list.
At the bottom of the panel there is an “HTML code” icon. This can be used to edit a text block in HTML.
The icon “Properties” allows you to substitute in the email the data of a particular user (for example, their name).
You can delete the whole block by clicking on the red recycle bin icon in the upper right corner of the block.
You can add blocks to the body of the email: text, buttons, pictures, links to social networks, blocks with goods. Simply drag the desired block from the left panel to the desired location in the email.

Popular products block

This is because we want to gather information about customer behavior in your store, such as their most frequent purchases and views. If you'd like to add the Popular Products block, you can request it after working with us for 2-3 months. Please contact us via email to enable this feature.
