Hi,

When someone opens your email, you only have seconds to grab their attention before they move on to something else. A visually stunning email is a powerful way to entice readers to keep reading.

With the latest updates to the email message editor, it’s easier than ever to bring your ideas to life without fiddling with complex settings or needing to be a design expert. Crafting attention-grabbing emails that deliver results has never been simpler.

Consistent email design with Theme Settings

Bring your brand to life with consistent email design. Theme Settings let you set colors, fonts, buttons, links, and dividers all in one place, applying them across your message automatically, even to new elements. Your emails will always look polished and professional without any extra effort.

Why you’ll love this:

Keep your branding consistent and polished.
Focus on your messaging, not on formatting.
Know your emails will look great every time.

Turn text links into visual content

One of the easiest mistakes you can make in an email is including a plain URL as a link to something you’re trying to share (something like “https://www.aweber.com”). You know who does that a lot? People sending spam messages.

And you definitely don’t want your readers deciding that the messages you pour your heart and creativity into are scammy just because of a formatting issue.

Don’t worry, with automatic link previews you can turn ordinary text links into rich, eye-catching visual elements that pull your readers in. Share a blog post, product page, or video, by simply pasting your link into your message, then the editor will automatically generate a preview.

Customize the preview to match your branding or stick with the default for a quick, polished look.

Why you’ll love this:

Create compelling content faster.
Avoid broken or uninspiring links in your emails.
Focus on the big picture while the editor handles the details.

Share new content with less manual work

Send subscribers new content from your blog, podcast, YouTube channel, or anything else with an RSS feed using the improved Feed element. Add your RSS feed URL, and the editor will automatically pull and format the content for you.

This helps keep your audience updated without having to manually copy and paste your content. Customize the layout, number of items displayed, description length (now up to 100 characters), and more to perfectly match your branding.

Why you’ll love this:

Save time with dynamic content.
Keep your audience updated without additional effort.
Customize the look and feel of your feed to match your branding.
