Similar to the Website Editor
The Email Editor and Introduction to Website Editor share many of the same elements. For more editing tips, see Editing Website Content in the User Guide.
Email Editor Layout
The Email Editor page shows a preview of your email with placeholders instead of the actual event details. For example, this line uses placeholders for your organization's name and email address:
If you have any questions about this event please contact the event
organizer for {{ Organization.Name }} at {{ Organization.Email | mailto }}.
The main editor controls are on the left side of the page. The email's Title is at the top of the sidebar, with its save status directly beneath. The Title is a reference name for the email, and it's how the email is listed under Custom Emails.
